GRIN on the other hand lists the Chinese name under Panax vietnamensis, thereby suggesting a synonymy. This cannot be confirmed either by any of our trusted references.

Panax major, listed as a synonym by W3Tropicos is considered as a synonym of Panax bipinnatifidus Seem. by GRIN. Common names "zhu" and "pearl" would suggest Panax pseudoginseng Wall. var. elegantior (Burkill) G. Hoo & C. J. Tseng as a possible synonym.
