1, Ginseng: Umbelliferae.

2. Adenophora adenophora: Campanulaceae.

Second, the appearance is different

1, Ginseng: Ginseng has palmately compound leaves, 3-5 leaflets, 3 in the middle are nearly the same size and have petioles; Leaflets are oval or slightly obovate, 4- 15 cm long and 2-6.5 cm wide, with tapered apex, wedge-shaped base and serrate edges. There are a few bristles scattered on the upper veins, and the lower ones are hairless. The lowermost 1 pair of leaflets is very small and has no petiole.

2. Adenophora adenophora: a perennial herb with white milk. Roots carrot-shaped, stems 40-80 cm high, unbranched, often short bristles or villous, less glabrous. Basal leaves are heart-shaped, large and long-stalked; Cauline leaves are sessile, or only the lower leaves have extremely short winged stalks. The leaves are oval, narrowly ovate, wedge-shaped at the base, less than obtuse, acute or short-tapering at the top, with irregular serrations at the edges, short hairs or long bristles scattered on both sides, or nearly hairless, 3-1cm long and1cm wide.

Third, the growth environment is different

1, Ginseng: Ginseng mostly grows under the climatic conditions with 1 monthly average temperature of -23-5℃ and July average temperature of 20-26℃, with strong cold tolerance and low temperature of -40℃, and the suitable growth temperature is 15-25℃. Generally, it grows in places where the annual accumulated temperature is 2000-3000℃, the frost-free period is 125- 150 days, the snow is 20-44 cm, and the annual precipitation is 500- 1000 mm. Ginseng enjoys a cool and humid climate.

Prefer oblique and diffuse light, avoid strong light and high temperature. The soil should be brown forest soil with good drainage, loose, fertile and deep humus layer or brown forest soil with mountain ash, and the pH value of the soil should be 5.5-6.2.

2. Adenophora adenophora: Most of them are born in low mountain grass and rock crevices, but also in grassland at an altitude of 600-700 meters or in open slopes and forests at an altitude of 1000-3200 meters.

Like warm or cool climate, cold-resistant, although drought-resistant, but also need a proper amount of water during the growth period, seedling stage, drought often causes seedling death. It is suitable to cultivate in sandy loam with deep and fertile soil layer, rich humus and good drainage.
