摘要

中藥「麥門冬」又名［麥冬」係若干沿階草屬Genus Ophiopogon及麥門冬屬Genus Liriope植物之瘤狀根經乾燥製成者，具有鎮咳、怯痰、強心、強壯及利尿之效果。
著者在日本國立科學博物館大井次三郎博士之指導下，對臺灣北、中部栽培之「麥門冬」原植物及其近綠植物獲得若干心得。茲將扼要記述其內容以供有關人士參考。
一、臺灣北、中部栽培之「麥門冬」原植物有兩種。寬葉種係Liriope muscari B(下標 AILEY)在北部各地栽培。細葉種係L. angustissima O(下標 HWI)多在中部栽培。
二、臺灣北部沿海地方野生之一種麥門冬屬植物具有細葉，一見如L. angustissima O(下標 HWI)，在臺灣省農業試驗所圃場栽奢觀察結果，幾乎不產生富狀根，除涊定無栽培價值以外，其植物形態與L. angustissima O(下標 HWI)有若干相異，經大井博士鎰定始知爲「琉球麥門冬」之細葉系統。對「琉球麥門冬」之學名現有兩種學說，一爲L. spicata L(下標 OCR)，另一爲L. gracilis N(下標 AKAL)，在本篇暫用前者。

The original plants of Chinese crude drug ”Mai-Men-Tung” cultivated in the Northern and Central part of Taiwan were subjected to identification. It was found that the broad leaved species cultivated in the Northern part of Taiwan was identified to belong to Liriope muscari B(subscript AILEY), and the narrow leaved species grown in the Central part of Taiwan belongs to L. angustissima O(subscript HWI). The specimen collected from the coastal area of the Northern Taiwan were assumed to belong to the narrow leaf strain of L. spicata L(subscript OUIC)and its usefulness was evaluated.
