ABSTRACT
On the base of the State Key-protected Wild Medicinal Species List, the State Key-protected Wild Animals List, the State Key-protected Wild Plants List (the first) and the Convention on International Tradein Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Appendix I/II, and of the legal medicinal material standards, the range of nationalkey-protected wild medicinal materials is discussed in this article. It is suggested that 145 kinds of wild medicinal materials (160 kinds of species) should be put into the range of national key-protected wild medicinal materials. In addition, according to the State Key-protected Wild Plants List (the second, draft for discussion) and the legal medicinal material standards, there are about 35 kinds of wild medicinal materials (50 kinds of species) which could be taken into account as part of the range of national key-protected wild medicinal materials. Foregoing conclusion will be benefit to the Amendment of the State Key-protected Wild Medicinal Species List.
