Hi all

It seems that there is a political-botanical war between scholars from Tibet and China about these 2 species: Lycium barbarun and Lycium chinense.

You are welcomed to read the various articles at http://www.tanaduk.com/research1.html

This botanical research institute
The Tanaduk Botanical Research Institute[/b][/b] began studying over 20 varieties of Lycium berries that display similar taxa characteristics and phytogenetic relationships to the ancient Tibetan Lycium berries.

I do not take a stand for any of the sides - but there is a lot to learn between the lines.

This is a piece from one of the articles:

Forty One Types of Tibetan/Himalayan Berries

Tanaduk researchers are studying 41 varieties of Tibetan berries that display similar taxa characteristics and phytogenetic relationships to the Tibetan Lycium called Goji. The Tibetan Goji berry is one Lycium variety that is grown free of pesticides or any chemicals and is not endangered. It offers phyto energetic properties that are so high that there is no comparison available to any Western or Eastern berry.

Among the berries we are researching that contain similar phytogenetic characteristics are the pink fruited Soulieana of the Berberidaceae family. These include: aggregata, chitria, aristata, gagnepainii, sikkimensis, sibirica, canadensis, asiatica, thundbergii and chinensis types. Among the Lycium types are: berlandieri, barbarum (the wolfberry type from China), halimifolium, vulgare, cooperi, macrodon, carolinianum, andersonii (another wolfberry type) and afrum.
