Panax
The ''Panax'' (ginseng) genus belongs to the Araliaceae (ivy) Family (biology), family. ''Panax'' species are characterized by the presence of ginsenosides and gintonin. ''Panax'' is one of approximately 60 plant genera with a classical disjunct east Asian and east North American distribution. Furthermore, this disjunct distribution is asymmetric as only two of the ~18 species in genus are native to North America. Etymology The name ''Panax'', meaning "all-healing" in Greek, shares the same origin as "panacea" and was used for this genus because Carl Linnaeus was aware of its wide use in Chinese medicine.

Panax Quinquefolius
American ginseng (''Panax quinquefolius'') is a species of flowering plant in the ivy family (biology), family Araliaceae. It is native to eastern North America and has been introduced into China. The specific epithet ''quinquefolius'' means "five-leaved", which refers to the typical number of leaflets per leaf. It is one of a group of Taxon, taxa known as "ginseng". Europeans first became aware of American ginseng near Montreal in 1716. It has been wild-harvested and exported to Asia since 1720. Billions of plants were wild-harvested in the 19th century alone. To control international trade and prevent global extinction of the species, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service implements a CITES Export Program that authorizes 19 states and one tribe to export American ginseng from the United States. From 1978 to 2019, the bulk of exports have come from southern Appalachian states, especially Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee. The NatureServe conservation status, cons ...

Panax Trifolius
''Panax trifolius'', commonly called dwarf ginseng, is a plant native to the Northeastern and Appalachian regions of North America. It is found in low mesic woods with acidic soils. It produces an umbel of white flowers in late spring. This species was used for traditional medicine by Native Americans. Its tubers can be eaten raw or boiled. The distribution of the plant is inconsistent and can become disjunct as it appears frequently in one area and absent in another with a suitable habitat. The plant is a part of the Araliaceae and occurs in a similar region with the more notable relative, ''Panax'' ''quinquefolium''''.'' It is sometimes referred to as "groundnut" due to the roots exhibiting a nutty flavor when eaten raw. Description The root of the ginseng (''Panax'' ''trifolius'') is knobby and resembles a potato with a fleshy appearance. The plant grows to be about 4-8 inches high with tiny white or pink flowers that are about 2mm wide, radially symmetrical, and cluste ...

Ginseng
Ginseng () is the root of plants in the genus ''Panax'', such as South China ginseng (''Panax notoginseng, P. notoginseng''), Korean ginseng (''Panax ginseng, P. ginseng''), and American ginseng (''American ginseng, P. quinquefolius''), characterized by the presence of ginsenosides and gintonin. Ginseng is common in the cuisines and medicines of China and Korea. Ginseng has been used in traditional medicine over centuries, though modern clinical research is inconclusive about its medical effectiveness. There is no substantial evidence that ginseng is effective for treating any medical condition and it has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat or prevent a disease or to provide a health benefit. Although ginseng is sold as a dietary supplement, inconsistent manufacturing practices for supplements have led to analyses of some ginseng products contaminated with unrelated filler (materials), filler compounds, and its excessive use may ...
