JAPANESE ATRACTYLODES ATRACTYLODES JAPONICA

JAPANESE ATRACTYLODES (Atractylodes japonica (Koidz.) Kitam) ++

Some data also apply to Atractylodes ovata in HH3. Perry treats all three of the species covered here as one from a medicinal point of view for some indications: A. japonica, A. lancea, and A. macrocephala, I entered those indications for all three. Perhaps they should be aggregated, perhaps not. HH3 treated all three separately, but for reasons that escape me, PH2 left out A. macrocephala, perhaps the better known of the trio.
