Abstract
Guangzao, Fructus Choerospondiatis, is the dry ripe fruit of Choerospondias axillaris (Roxb.) Burtt et Hill (Anacardiaceae), which is collected in the fall when the fruits have become ripe. It is a herbal medicine especially used by the Mongolians as a sedative and cardiotonic. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia requires a qualitative determination of the flavone compound of this official crude drug detected with boric acid and citric acid and detected with AlCl3 after extraction.
