紫珠原植物的本草考证

Textual research on the original plant of "Zizhu

唐代《本草拾遗》中的紫珠 ,因有“紫荆”的别名 ,故被后世的本草书错误地并入紫荆条目中。晚清以来的中外学者曾对其原植物进行过考订 ,涉及马鞭草科紫珠属CallicarpaL .的多种植物。但其中有的无药用记录 ,有的产地或药效与《拾遗》记载不符 ,故皆非紫珠的原植物。经反复考证认为 ,紫珠的原植物应为同属植物C .giraldillHesseexRehd .,在古代或民间 ,近缘种C .bodinieraLvl.

Because 'Zizhu' in the book 'Make-up Omissions to Herbal Plants' had another name 'Zijing' ,'Zizhu' was classified into 'Zijing'. Researchers after Qing Dynasty had carried out textual researches about its original plant.The number of plants in Callicarpa L. of Verbenaceae were related. But none of them was the original plant of 'Zizhu', because of no record of medicine use, or not agree with 'Make-up Omissions to Herbal Plants' in place of origin, or mdeical effects. Many textual researches show that the original plant of 'Zizhu' should be C. giraldii Hesse ex Rehd. Meanwhile, C. bodiniera Lvl. could be used as C. giraldii for medicine by people in ancient time.
