摘　　要：木兰作为一种非常名贵的建筑材料和珍贵药材在唐代以前常被提及,之后史籍记载渐少,并常常与其他植物混淆。现代人多认为是今木兰科植物,但历史文献对木兰的记载与今木兰科植物的生物学、药用等各种特性出入较大。通过对木兰的文献记载进行分析,讨论了将木兰原植物弄错的原因,并根据木兰的各种形态学及生态学特征,考证其为今樟科樟属植物阴香。As a precious building material and medicinal plant, ＂Mulan＂ was often mentioned in books before Tang Dynatsy. After then, literature about ＂Mulan＂ became less and was confused with other plants. Today, ＂Mulan＂ was considered as a species of Magnoliaceae. However, the bio- logical characteristics and medical value of ＂Mulan＂ described in ancient literature is materially dif- ferent from those plants in Magnoliaceae considered as ＂Mulan＂. Based on the literature analysis of ＂Mulan＂ in ancient books, the reason of misinformation about ＂Mulan＂ is discussed. Based on the morphological and ecological characteristics, ＂Mulan＂ was verified as Cinnamomum burmannii B1. , a species of Cinnamomum Trew in Lauraceae.
