Pharmaceutical nameCodonopsis Pilosulae Radix

Evidence grade: Not gradedSafety signal: Adverse-event literature existsMapping confidence: Strong correspondence

The three axes are assessed independently and are never combined into a single score.

KTKP records the origin species as Codonopsis pilosulae (Fr.) Nannf.. It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Codonopsis pilosula. Literature searches for this herb also cover Codonopsis pilosulae — the same taxon appears under several names. The nomenclatural discussion for this herb was flagged for correction during verification; only the verified facts are shown here, with the details in docs/HERB_NAME_RESEARCH.md.
