Herbal medicines have been traditionally used a lot in Northeast Asia, e.g., South and North Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan. In particular, various rosaceous plants are widely used for medicinal purposes among countries. However, the original rosaceous species, which are registered in pharmacopoeia standards, are sometimes different and confuse. In this study, herbal medicines in the pharmacopoeia were analyzed for Rosaceae taxa in order to compare the identity and different taxonomic opinions for each country. The scientific names of herbal medicines were analyzed origins from pharmacopoeias of Republic and Democratic People's Republic of Korea, People's Republic of China, Japan, Taiwan, and their local floras. Besides, we provide the figures of major medicinal items and voucher specimens by using KIOM and MFDS database. The analyzed rosaceous herbal medicines in pharmacopoeias were all 26 items; the highest percentage, genus Prunus (36%) and fruits (36%) among the registered genera and medicinal parts, respectively. Six items were in all five country's pharmacopoeia. Ten items were in more than two countries' pharmacopoeia. Our research provides valuable, necessary information, e.g., corrected scientific names of original species, taxonomic reviews, figures of medicine, and voucher specimens. These results will help in the understanding of the authentic rosaceous plants among the five countries' pharmacopoeias.
