  Medicinal herbal materials are either wildly grown or cultivated. The quality of herbal medicinal material can be influenced by region, environment, climate, and harvest season. As a result, the quality of herbal medicinal material frequently varies from batch to batch. In addition, several different herb species may share the same product name, while a single herb species may have several synonyms. Consequently, for a long time, the market of Chinese herbal medicinal material products are flooded with countless misapplications, adulterants, and substitutes. Therefore, the safety and effectiveness of Chinese herbal medicinal products are jeopardized. Thus, authentication of the plant species of Chinese herbal medicinal material is no doubt one of the most important issues for practicing Chinese herbal medicines.
