Abstract
The Korean crude drug 'Suk Wi' has been used as the folk remedy for diuretic and gonorrhea. The botanical origin of the crude drug has never been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of Suk Wi, studied on the morphological and anatomical characteristics of Pyrrosia species growing wild in Korea i.e., P. linearifolia, P. lingua, P. petiolosa, P. tricuspis and Suk Wi from Korea on Korean market. As a result, it was made clear that Suk Wi from Korea was derived from Pyrrosia lingua and P. petiolosa.
