Botanical Description
Zou Ma Tai ("running-horse platform") is a southern Chinese folk-medicine name that has been variously attributed in regional sources to Ardisia crispa (Primulaceae) and to several other small evergreen shrubs of comparable habit, but no single authoritative binomial is given by Bensky and Gamble, the Chinese Pharmacopoeia or the standard Zhong Yao Da Ci Dian entries consulted. Because the same name is applied to more than one species and the references conflict, no responsible morphology, parts used or therapeutic actions can be specified with confidence here. The entry is therefore treated as botanically unidentifiable.
