Abstract

The family name for the botanical origin of crude drugs in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) is based on the modified Engler system. However, the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) system, which is a novel classification system for Angiospermae using DNA information, was reported in 1998 and revised three times to date. Now, the APG system is widely accepted in not only plant systematics but also other fields. In this study, we prepared the comparison table between the two systems for family names of crude drug items in the JP. The resultant table was provided for General Information for the JP.
