Abstract: The normal hypogaeous stem of Paris polyphylla Sm.var. yunnanensis (Fr.) Hand.-Mazz. is amyloid, which contains 2.56% of polysaccharides (FP). The hypogaeous stem is converted into colloid by parasiting of Periconia Tode and other microbes, which contains 5.44% of polysaccharides (JP). The animal experiment in vivo shows that FP and JP have evident immune enhancement. These results indicate that the medical value of colloidal hypogaeous stem is the same as amyloid. They are of equal use for medicine.

Key words: Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis
