Abstract: Dendrobium species on the ancient Chinese herbal texts were investigated in this paper,including their dscriptions of original species,producing areas and quality. Our results indicated that the major producing areas were Lu’an,Anhui province and Wenzhou,Taizhou,Zhejiang province. In addition,the sweet flavor,short,thin and solid stems were standing for good quality. Based on the stable producing areas and quality descriptions,D. catenatum(D. officinale)(" Tiepi Shihu") and D. houshanense were high quality medicinal Dendrobium species(" Shihu") in ancient China. Besides,there were 3 scientific names for " Tiepi Shihu",including D. candidum,D. officinale,D. catenatum. After textual investigation,We suggest that D. catenatum should be its scientific name,and D. officinale was synonyms published later. However,the name " D. officinale" could be reserved as it is much more popular used in publication and commodities. Moreover,its Chinese name should be " Tiepi Shihu".
