-''Introduction from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panax_ginseng, retrieved 02/27/2012).''
+=Nomenclature=
-''Ginseng'' (pronounced /ˈdʒɪnsɛŋ/[1]) is any one of eleven species of slow-growing perennial plants with fleshy roots, belonging to the genus ''Panax'' of the family Araliaceae.
+=Botanical Voucher Specimen=
-''Ginseng'' is found only in the Northern Hemisphere, in North America and in eastern Asia (mostly Korea, northern China (Manchuria), and eastern Siberia), typically in cooler climates. ''Panax vietnamensis'', discovered in Vietnam, is the southernmost ginseng known. Ginseng is characterized by the presence of ginsenosides.
+=Organoleptic Characteristics=
-The English word ginseng derives from the Chinese term rénshēn (simplified: 人参; traditional: 人蔘). Rén means "man" and shēn means a kind of herb; this refers to the root's characteristic forked shape, which resembles the legs of a man.[2] The English pronunciation derives from a southern Chinese reading, similar to Cantonese jên shên (Jyutping: jan4sam1) and the Hokkien pronunciation "jîn-sim".
+=Macroscopic Descriptions=
-The botanical/genus name ''Panax'' means "all-heal" in Greek, sharing the same origin as "panacea", and was applied to this genus because Linnaeus was aware of its wide use in Chinese medicine as a muscle relaxant.
+=Microscopic Characteristics=
+{| border=1
-Besides Panax ginseng, there are many other plants which are also known as or mistaken for the ginseng root. The most commonly known examples are Xiyangshen, also known as American Ginseng 西洋参 (''Panax quinquefolius''), Japanese ginseng 东洋参 (''Panax japonicus''), crown prince ginseng 太子參 (''Pseudostellaria heterophylla''), and Siberian ginseng 刺五加 (''Eleutherococcus senticosus''). Although all have the name ginseng, each plant has distinctively different functions. However, true ginseng plants belong to the ''Panax'' genus.
