The Paris polyphylla is a member of the Lilaceae, and belongs to the family Trilliaceae and the genus Paris. This plant gets its name from the fact that its 7-10 leaves are arranged in a whorl at the end of the plant's stem, and the single flower is located above the whorled leaves. The oblate, columnar root has nodes and is slight curved; the thick, protruding rings resemble sleeping fleas or the floors of a building, which accounts for some of its local names. According to Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica: "The Paris polyphylla dwells in the deep mountains, and is able to cure warts and carbuncles." The Paris polyphylla is a very rare and valuable plant; it can eliminate heat, detoxify the body, cool the liver, and relieve anxiety. It chiefly grows in Taiwan and China's Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, and Sichuan areas.
