Historical pharmacopoeias have recorded many categories of Bupleurum, including Bupleurum from Xiangzhou, Bupleurum from Jiangning Prefecture, Bupleurum from Fuzhou, Bupleurum from Shoushou, and Bupleurum from Danzhou, totaling five types. After the liberation, the commercial names of Bupleurum include Northern Bupleurum, Han Bupleurum, Jin Bupleurum, Red Bupleurum, Black Bupleurum, Hard Bupleurum, Soft Bupleurum, and Spring Bupleurum, among others.
