The three axes are assessed independently and are never combined into a single score.
KTKP records the origin species as Zizyphus jujuba var. inermis Rehder. 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 2 records as name variants. The same source species also yields 5 other separately registered drug(s) (Jujubae Fructus, Zizyphi Spinosae Semen, Zizyphi Folium, Zizyphi Radix, Zizyphi Spina), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Ziziphus jujuba. Literature searches for this herb also cover Zizyphus jujuba, Ziziphus sativa, Ziziphus vulgaris — the same taxon appears under several names.
