The Panax (
ginseng)
genus belongs to the Araliaceae[1] (ivy)
family. Panax species are characterized by the presence of
ginsenosides and
gintonin. Panax is one of approximately 60 plant genera with a classical disjunct east Asian and east North American distribution.[2] Furthermore, this disjunct distribution is asymmetric as only two of the ~18 species in genus are native to North America.
