Botanical Description
Gang Ban Gui is a regional folk-medicine name without a confirmed botanical identification in standard Chinese Materia Medica references. The name translates roughly as "steel-plank cassia" or similar, and may refer to a Cinnamomum-related bark or a Dalbergia-type wood in particular districts, but no authoritative source associates it with a single binomial. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia, Bensky and Gamble, and Flora of China do not list this name. Without a verified botanical referent, no reliable description of morphology, parts used or therapeutic actions can be given.
