Paeonia suffruticosa, the tree peony, is a species of peony native to China. It is known as mudan (牡丹) in Chinese and is an important symbol in Chinese culture. It was first described and validly published by Henry Charles Andrews in 1804.[1][2] The epidermis of its roots is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, called "mudanpi"(牡丹皮).
Cultivation
Ca. Phytoplasma solani, the causal agent of the Black wood disease of grapevine, is also associated with the tree peony yellows disease in China.[3]
Chemistry
P. suffruticosa contains paeonol, galloyl-paeoniflorin, galloyl-oxypaeoniflorin, suffruticoside A, B, C, D and E.[4]
