What does Shilintong look like?

I got my order from MaxNature. They are the brown pills composed of desmodium styraciflium. Is this the right ingredient? They are in a different plastic bottle though with the name Kapok on the label. I threw away the box that came with my other brown pill, glass bottle shilintong and cannot compare.

I still have the box that I ordered 2yrs ago and the ingredients are:
Coin Leaved Desmodium.......19g+
I suggest you email Far East Ginseng, the company that I bought it from and ask them to confirm they are selling Shilintong with this ingredient and if so, buy it from them.
However, if Ledasmom research is correct it may be the same ingredient but who knows.

GP Lover, I tried e-mailing Far East and asking about the ingredients. I got a one sentence answer in jumbled English saying only that they sell the same pill like before. I also tried to call them yesterday, and the person answering the phone had no comprehension of what I was asking and could not answer my question.

MaxNature just switched to the plastic bottles, but it's the same brand and the same looking pill as what I got in the brown glass bottle before, so I think it's the same pills in a different package. I think I'm on my second plastic bottle and it seems to be working the same.

MaxNature e-mailed me back. The MaxNature rep stated that they are the same pills but now come in a plastic bottle. He said that the original manufacturer discontinued the brown pills in the glass bottles, and they are getting impossible to find. He tried to assure me that these pills are the same thing.
Any more news on getting shilintong? I just started my guys and sister's guy on the yellow coated pills from Far East Ginseng. I rinse the yellow stuff off.
Also, with all the problems with finding lead paint on toys from China and fake v***gra with lead in the coating, anyone else ever think about whether there might be heavy metals in chinese herb formulas?
I think my fingers will forever smell like shilintong, but if it's going to help them then it's worth it.
Also, the first time we gave it to my sister's piggy he looked totally shocked by what was just put in his mouth. He didn't move his lips or tongue. He just looked totally stunned. My guys also looked a little stunned, but I give them a taste of Critical Care right afterwards and they are fine.

I ordered my shilintong on 18th March and it's still not arrived, according to the tracking website it is still in china's airport.. grr! I hope after this wait I get the brown pills and that they work!
I ordered it off ebay from some Chinese herbal shop. My parcel arrived this morning, I got all excited! Opened it up and I have facial cream!?!! ARGH! I am going to go cry now.
