Objections about the conclusions that six plants of eleven medicinal herbs given by the Materia Medica Textual Research on the Original Plants of the Medicinal Herbs in Ardisia were raised in this paper. It is considered that the eleven herbs recorded in ancient Chinese materia medica books are at least belonging to fourteen species in Ardisia and one species in Solamum.
