Mandragora autumnalis, known as mandrake [2] or autumn mandrake, [3] is recognized by some sources as a separate species from Mandragora officinarum, although with different circumscriptions. Others regard it as merely part of this very variable species.
As of 2019, Mandragora autumnalis Bertol. [19] is an accepted species distinguishable from Mandragora officinarum L., [20] so it follows that mandrake preparations and products derived from Mandragora officinarum L. may not actually be covered by this UK legislation.
The genus Mandragora was first used in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus in the first edition of Species Plantarum where the Mediterranean species Mandragora officinarum was described, [5] [6] which is thus the type species of the genus. [7] (Linnaeus later changed his mind and in 1759 placed M. officinarum in the genus Atropa as A. mandragora. [8])
A mandrake is the root of a plant, historically derived either from plants of the genus Mandragora (in the family Solanaceae) found in the Mediterranean region, or from other species, such as Bryonia alba (the English mandrake, in the family Cucurbitaceae) or the American mandrake (Podophyllum peltatum in the family Berberidaceae) which have similar properties.

Mandragora, a genus in the family Solanaceae, including Mandragora autumnalis, mandrake or autumn mandrake (considered by some sources to be a synonym of Mandragora officinarum) Mandragora caulescens, Himalayan mandrake; Mandragora officinarum, mandrake or Mediterranean mandrake; Mandragora turcomanica, Turkmenian mandrake
Mandragora turcomanica, the Turkmenian mandrake, [3] is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Solanaceae, native to the Köpet Dag mountains in Turkmenistan and one location in neighbouring Iran. It differs from the mandrakes found around the Mediterranean (Mandragora autumnalis and/or Mandragora officinarum) chiefly by being larger.
