Angelica tenuissima Identity & Plant Part
The botanical entity is Angelica tenuissima Nakai, family Apiaceae. Databases now treat the name as a synonym of Conioselinum tenuissimum, while trade and the master data keep Angelica tenuissima. The part used in this Angelica tenuissima extract is the root; leaves, stems and seeds are not part of the product.
The root appears in Korean herbal practice under the name go-bon, while Chinese gao ben usually refers to the rhizome of Ligusticum species, so the two traditions use the same name for different plants. It should also not be mistaken for bai zhi, dang gui or du huo, all of which are other Angelica roots with their own pages. Angelica tenuissima extract should be matched on the binomial and the root, because the Korean and Chinese names for the herb point to different plants.
