The differences between the roots of Syzygium pentaphyllum and milk roots are: different growth habits, different shapes and different distributions.

First, the growth habits are different

1, Five-finger Peach Roots: Five-finger Peach Roots are born in hillsides, valleys and roadside bushes.

2. Milk tree roots: Milk tree roots grow in open fields, valleys, low-altitude sparse forests or wet places near water banks.

Second, the form is different

1, five-finger nectarine root: the roots and leaves of five-finger nectarine are alternate, papery, pleomorphic, oblong-lanceolate or broadly ovoid, long 10-25 cm, with serrate edges, sometimes entire or 3-5-parted, with an acute or tapering apex, a round base, a shallow heart shape or a wide wedge shape, and sparsely covered with coarse bristles on the surface.

2. Milk root: the petiole of milk root is 1-4.5cm long and is short and coarse; 2 stipules, broadly lanceolate, about 1.5cm long. On leafless and raw Ficus microcarpa branches, 4 stipules often form a ring and fall early. Leaf blade is leathery or papery, oval or obovate-oblong, 6-20cm long and 4- 12cm wide, with short tip or tail tip at the apex, rounded or wedge-shaped at the base, and irregular serrations all over the line.

Third, the distribution is different

1, five-fingered peach roots: Five-fingered peach roots are distributed in the south and southwest of China.

2. Milk roots: Milk roots are distributed in South China, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places.
