Panax japonicus is a species of ginseng known for its bamboo-shaped, uneven-sized roots.[2][3] It is found throughout Japan and Korea,[1] and is also said to be endangered in China.[4]

Panax japonicus sees some use in Japanese Kampo medicine[5][6] and traditional Chinese medicine.[3] Like other ginsengs, it contains a number of ginsenosides.[7]

There is no English-language literature on its cultivation, though Baeg et al. (2013) lists it among cultivated ginseng species.[2] There is, however, a considerable volume of Chinese literature on its cultivation under the name Zhújiéshēn.[8][9]

Varieties

Flora of China cites Panax japonicus var. major (Burkill) C. Y. Wu & K. M. Feng as a variety of this species,[10] though Plants of the World Online treats it as a synonym of Panax bipinnatifidus var. bipinnatifidus.[11] cpDNA analysis supports the affiliation of the variety with P. j. This variety is also used in traditional Chinese medicine[12] under the name Zhūzĭshēn. There is also a large amount of Chinese literature on its cultivation.[13]
