Usage notes

The UK Food Standards Agency notes: ‘[It has been] suggested that the name "goji" was originally applied only to the species L. [Lycium] chinensis and should not be used for L. barbarum. However, it appears that "goji" is widely understood in the UK to refer to the latter species […] .’
