Dr. Henry notes that this bears the Chinese name Ai-pai-ts'ai 
(= cliff-cabbage), and that it is much esteemed as a medical 
simple. It grows only in almost inaccessible places on the faces 
of cliffs. 
Rehmannia rupestris, Hemsl., differs essentially from the other 
species in having thick, usually woolly leaves on long petioles, 
and in the multifid calyx.
