Sinopodophyllum
''Sinopodophyllum'' is an herbaceous perennial plant in the family Berberidaceae, described as a genus 1979.〔Ying, Tsun Shen. 1979. Acta Phytotaxonomica Sinica 17(1): 15–16〕〔(Tropicos, ''Sinopodophyllum'' T.S. Ying )〕 It includes only one known species, ''Sinopodophyllum hexandrum'', native to Afghanistan, Bhutan, northern India, Kashmir, Nepal, Pakistan, and western China (Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Tibet, Yunnan).〔(Flora of China Vol. 19 Page 783 桃儿七 tao er qi ''Sinopodophyllum hexandrum'' (Royle) T. S. Ying in C. Y. Wu )〕 Common names include Himalayan mayapple and Indian may apple.
==Description==
''Sinopodophyllum hexandrum'' is low to the ground with glossy green, drooping, lobed leaves on its few stiff branches, and it bears a pale pink flower and bright red-orange bulbous fruit. The ornamental appearance of the plant make it a desirable addition to woodland-type gardens. It can be propagated by seed or by dividing the rhizome. It is very tolerant of cold temperatures, as would be expected of a Himalayan plant, but it does not tolerate dry conditions. Its name in Hindi and Ayurveda is ''bantrapushi'' or ''Giriparpat''.〔(Himalayan Voices )〕
The plant is poisonous. The rhizome of the plant contains a resin, known generally and commercially as Indian Podophyllum Resin, which can be processed to extract podophyllin (podophyllotoxin), a neurotoxin. It is used medicinally to treat genital warts. Rhizomes contain up to 15% podophyllin.〔Sharma, V. (2013).
