Components of the Chinese crude drug “Fang-chi” or “Fenfang-chi” were examined and it was found that the chief component is a bitter principle, besides starch, and only an extremely minute amount of a water-soluble, quaternary base alkaloid, magnoflorine, was detected. From the standpoint of alkaloidal chemistry, this crude drug probably originates from Stephania hernandifolia WALP.
