218 BOTANICON SINICUM. 
Su Sune [11th cent.]:—It is now common in Pien king 
[in Ho nan, App. 248], in Ho chung [S.W. Shan si, App. 
74], in Kiang ning [Nan king, App. 129] and many other 
places in North and Mid China. After this follows a descrip- 
tion of the plant similar to that given by Su Kune. 
The name len k‘iao, in China as well as in Japan, is 
applied to Forsythia and Hypericum. For further particulars 
see Bot. sin., II, 120. .

Hankow 2,864 piculs,—p. 32 (150), from Tien tsin 789 
piculs,—p. 48 (44), from Chefoo 35 piculs. 
121.— fe BE lu ying. P., XVI, 67. 7., CXLVII. 
Pie lu:—The lu ying grows in Hiung rh [in N.W. Ho 
nan, App. 69], in river-valleys, also in Yiian kii [in Shan 
tung, App. 415]. It is gathered in the beginning of autumn. 
Taste bitter. Nature cold. Non-poisonous. 
Su Kune [7th cent.] states that the lu ying is the 
same as the so t‘iao [see the next]. But later authors [MA 
Cui, Su Sune, Li Sui-cHen] keep them apart, proving that 
the so tao is a different plant, and is poisonous. The 
description of the lu ying is vague. Su Sune refers to Rh ya, 
222. The flowers are officinal. 
For identification see the next.
