The abstract describes the study as being about "rude" medicinal material. What is this? Also, the results describe tentacles being found in the rhizomes. At first glance, this sounds like a paper on octopii. Unable to view the full text, and presumably the full text being in Chinese, one wonders how this type of research has the luxury of being listed in PubMed. Such sloppily (botanically) written abstract call into question the rigor of peer review and the validity - at first glance - of the findings.
