Codonopsis foetens Hook. f. et Thoms., Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 2: 16. 1858; Chipp, Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 38: 383. 1908, p. p. excl. specim. Tachienlu.; Anthony, Not. Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinb. 15: 185. 1926, p. p., excl. Ward 959; Nannf., Act. Hort. Gothob. 5: 29. 1929.
根较细，直径近1厘米，长10-15厘米。茎基极短。茎数支发自一条根，上升，纤细或稍粗壮，直径1.5-3毫米，高20-40厘米，极稀疏地被长柔毛，在下部聚生许多不育的纤细分枝。叶在主茎上的互生，大部分为黄色的鳞片状叶，仅在中上部有几枚绿色的寻常叶；在分枝上的对生或近于对生，全部寻常叶具长约2毫米的短柄，叶片心状圆形或心状卵圆形，基部浅心形，顶端钝，全缘，长5-8毫米，宽5毫米，两面相当密地被白色长硬毛，使叶片呈灰绿色。花单朵顶生于主茎上，多少下垂。花萼仅贴生至子房中部，筒部半球状，无毛或有极稀疏的白色柔毛，裂片之间基部相接或有间隔，裂片卵状矩圆形，或卵状披针形，最宽处在中下部，长约8毫米，宽4-5.5毫米，全缘，两边向侧后卷叠，两面相当密地被短硬毛；花冠钟状或宽钟状，淡蓝色，淡紫色，脉处暗紫色，长2-3厘米，裂片近于圆形，顶端钝或急尖，长8-12毫米；花丝无毛。花期7-9月。
产我国西藏南部（亚东、错那、林芝、波密）。锡金也有。生于海拔3900-4600米的高山灌丛和石缝中。模式标本采自锡金。
最接近 Codonopsis nervosa Nannf., 区别为本种茎上毛极少，几近无毛；叶片小，长仅5-8毫米；花萼裂片卵状矩圆形，少为卵状披针形，长约8毫米，宽4-5.5毫米，边缘向侧后卷叠，而 Codonopsis nervosa 则茎上相当密地被毛；叶片长一般为10-15毫米；花萼裂片常为卵状披针形，长7-20毫米，宽为2-7毫米，两边不卷叠，如卷叠则长在10毫米以上，故易于区分。目前来看，两种分布区不衔接。

臭党参 chou dang shen

Roots slender, 10-55 × 1-2 cm. Caudexes abundantly branched, and thus stems several to many from one caudex, caespitose. Main stems erect or ascending, 20-40 cm tall, villous; branches numerous, aggregated in lower part, 1-10 cm tall, usually sterile. Leaves on main stems alternate, those on branches opposite or subopposite; blade cordate or ovate, 5-30 × 5-24 mm, both surfaces variously pubescent, margin entire or nearly so, apex acute or obtuse; petiole 2-3 mm. Flowers solitary (rarely several), terminal on main stems and sometimes branches, ± pendent; pedicels 1-8 cm. Calyx tube adnate to ovary up to middle, semiglobose or hemispherical, glabrous or very sparsely white hispidulous; lobes ovate, ovate-oblong, or ovate-lanceolate, 7-20 × 2-7 mm, rather densely hispidulous, entire, recurved at margin, apex acute or obtuse. Corolla pale blue or pale purple with interior markings, campanulate or subglobose-campanulate, 2-4.5 × 2.5-3 cm; lobes suborbicular, 8-12 mm, apex obtuse or acute. Stamens glabrous; filaments slightly dilated at base, ca. 5 mm; anthers 4-5 mm. Capsule obconical at inferior part, conical at superior part, ca. 2 × 1.5 cm. Seeds brown-yellow, ellipsoid or oblong, ca. 1 mm, smooth. Fl. Jul-Sep, fr. Sep-Oct.

Grassy slopes, alpine scrub, crevices, forests, meadows at forest margins on N-facing slopes; 3300-4600 m. SE Gansu, S Qinghai, W Sichuan, E and S Xizang, NW Yunnan [Bhutan, N India].
