Atractylodes is a genus of Asian daisy-family herbs, mainly known for their medicinal rhizomes; a few species such as A. macrocephala and A. lancea are grown in gardens and for herbal use rather than as common ornamentals.
Atractylodes is a genus of Asian flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.
The rhizome of some species, including Atractylodes lancea, and A. macrocephala (Chinese: 白朮), are used in traditional Chinese medicine, and in Japanese medicine, as a diuretic, an anti-inflammatory, an anti-coagulant, together with other uses.
