Abstract
Bupleurum scorzonerifolium and Saposhnikovia divaricata, both belonging to the family Umbelliferae, are important traditional medicinal herbs in China. The roots of several species of Bupleurum contain saikosaponins, phytosterols, volatile oils, etc. and are usually used in the treatment of upper respiratory infection, hepatitis, nephritis, and diseases of the digestive tract (Song et al. 1982). B. scorzonerifolium grows on dry hills or sandy grasslands in northern, northwestern and eastern China (Ditto).
