The Leguminosae is an economically important family in the
Dicotyledonae with many cultivated species, e. g. , beans and peas.
The family also contains many well-known medicinal plants. It is
composed of 17,000 or more species that constitute nearly one
twelfth of the world's flowering plants (1). Traditionally the
family has been divided into three subfamilies, Caesalpinioideae,
Mimosoideae and Papilionoi- deae, which are sometimes recognized as
separate families Caesalpinia- ceae, Mimosaceae and Papilionaceae.
The International Code of Botanical Nomenclature permits
alternative nomenclatures, the family names being replaced by
Fabaceae, Fabales and Faboideae, and this usage will be common (2).
Licorice (liquorice, kanzoh in Japanese, gancao in Chinese) is the
name applied to the roots and stolons of some Glycyrrhiza species
(Fabaceae) and has been used by human beings for at least 4000
years. The earliest written reference to the use of licorice is
contained in the Codex Hammurabi dating from 2100 B. C. , and the
subsequent history in the West has been described in the earlier
reviews (3-6). In the Far East, references to the effectiveness of
licorice are contained in the "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing", the first
Chinese dispensatory whose original anonymous volumes probably
appeared by the end of the third century (7, 8).
