WWW sources suggest that BOTH names are synonymous. For example:

 

http://www.healthnp.com/product-1.asp?kind=c & id=12 &

http://63.195.84.232/huperzia_serrata.htm say:

 

Qiancengta (`thousand-layers pagoda´); aka: Jinbuhuan (`more valuable than

gold´); Aisong; Changbingqiancengta; Qiancengye; Qianjincao; Qicunjin;

Shanzhicao; Shejiaocao; Shezushishan; Huperziae serratae Hb; Lycopodii

serrati Hb; Chinese Club Moss; Has: huperzine A (saponin), serratine,

serratanidine, serratinidine, tohogenol, tohogeninol, tohogenine; Fxs: (1)

Diuretic~mild; Antioedema~mild to reduce swelling dt water retention; (2)

huperzine A is ACh-esterase inhibitor; more effective ACh-esterase inhibitor

than tacrine, galanthamine & physostigmine (Antilirium); may reduce

symptoms of myasthenia gravis & Alzheimer's disease [drugs used in

Alzheimer's disease include ACh inhibitors Tacrine & Donepezil, which

increase available acetycholine & ease symptoms but side effects include

nausea, emesis, anxiety; also Tacrine is LV Toxin~serious; Huperzine A has

not those side effects]; (3) Antagonise effects mediated through GABA

receptors; (4) Prevent organophosphate poisoning; Indications: Alzheimer's

disease (senile dementia, Zaolaoxing Chidai); myasthenia gravis (heavy

muscle weakness disease; Zhong Jiwuli Zheng); pneumonia (Feiyan), LU

abscess (Feiyong), haematemesis (Tuxue), haemorrhoids (Zhichuang),

haematochezia (Bianxue), physical injury (Dapu Shang); swelling dt Toxin

(Zhongdu), schizophrenia; Dose: 10-20g; As Topical: qs (Waiyong Shiliang

) use supernatant of cooked Hb / use powder as Topical to infected area;

also see Yinyanghuo; ACh-esterase: an enzyme in blood & tissues that

catalyzes hydrolysis of acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter; Myasthenia

gravis: dt auto-immune dysfunction; whereby body produces antibodies that

deactivate ACh receptors on muscle cells. These receptors are situated at

end of muscles. They receive secretion (ACh) of endings of nerves & create

reaction. When antibodies destroy ACh receptors, functions of muscles

becomes impaired. early affected parts of body include eyelid muscles,

eyeball muscles (double visions), facial muscles, swallowing muscles &

most serious one is respiratory muscles & eventually resulting in paralysis &

respiratory failure which is life threatening; Organophosphates: used as

pesticides & " nerve gas " (chemical weapons); they act by suppressing ACh-

esterase permanently;

 

Best regards,

Hi Phil,

Thanks!! I believe we now have a definitive answer.
