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

KTKP records the origin species as Leonurus japonicus Houtt.. It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The same drug appears under 3 records as name variants. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Leonurus japonicus. Literature searches for this herb also cover Leonurus heterophyllus, Leonurus artemisia — 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.
