Ginseng is the common name of two species of Panax of the family Araliaceae. Panax ginseng is the Asian species and Panax quinquefolius is the American species. Harding (1972) describes four varieties of P. ginseng and three varieties of P. quinquefolius (4). Shorter forms of the common name ginseng, "sang" and "seng", are used in the United States. Other common names include red-berry and five fingers.
Ginseng is a perennial herb 60-80 cm tall. Its root is fleshy, often bifurate and aromatic. The stem is simple, erect and deep red. Ginseng's flowers, on the other hand, are pink and its fruit, a small berry, is red. The leaves are compound, digitate, oval and thin. There are a total of five leaflets, the three terminal leaflets are larger than the two lateral ones (6). Some say the leaf resembles the human hand, thus the common name five fingers.
Ginseng's roots are 5-6 cm long, grayish white to amber yellow. The surface is wrinkled and furrowed. The taste is sweetish at first, with a somewhat bitter aftertaste (4).
In old China, the age of ginseng roots was ascertained according to the number of "rings" on its surface. Rings are transverse wrinkles that appear from the shrinking of the root. However, since ginseng produces only one aerial shoot for each growing season, the number of stem scars on the rhizome may also be used for establishing the age of the plant. Ginseng is a very long lived plant. The life span of ginseng plants has been reported to be from thirty to three hundred years old.
