Rosa Roxburghii is an unique wild fruit growing in Guizhou, Sichuan and Yun’nan Provinces. It is growing at sides of mountains, at sides of road, near trees or in bushes. Its fruits are sweet and sour in taste with special scent. Compendium of Materia Mredical says that its fruits can alleviate mental depression and remove stagnated food. Luo Qian Yi in Gui Yang Agricultural Institute had made a lot of research from the 1940’s on threpsological, biochemical and biological aspects of Rosa Roxburghii. Their research approved that there is a high content of Vitamin C. But, there is not any detailed report on materials of its phyto-chemistrical and pharmalogical aspects. In order to make good use of the wild plant and present scientific basis for developing new products, we made preliminary research both toxicologically and pharmacologically on ethyl acetate extracted from Rosa Roxburghii. The results are as follows:
