MATERIA MEDICA OF THE ANCIENT CHINESE. S11 
T‘so Hunc-Ktne@ :—It resembles the fang hi [Cocculus ? 
See 183]. It (the root) shows veins like a radiating spoke of 
a wheel, is seldom used in medicine and little known.—The 
lang po tsz‘ is produced in Kiao and Kuang [Kuang tung 
and Kuang si, App. 112, 160]. The seeds are flat. They 
are bruised and thrown into the water to kill fish. 
Su Keng [7th cent.]:-—The huang huan abounds in 
Siang yang [in Hu pei, App. 306]. The people of Pa si 
[N. Sz ch‘uan, App. 236] call it it Ey ts’u ko. It is cultivated 
in gardens. It is a climber. Large specimens (the stem) 
measure from 6 to 7 inches in diameter. The root resembles 
the ko root [see 174], but when eaten it provokes violent 
vomiting. Rice-water is used to stop it. This is the true 
huang huan. Now that produced in Kien nan [Sz ch‘uan, 
App. 136], which is kept in store in the Sacrificial Court,‘ 
and known also under the name of ZB BR] | he shi ko ken, 
isnot the true huang huan. The latter has purple flowers. 
Its fruit, which is called lang po tsz‘, is a pod like that of the 
tsao kia [ Gleditschia. See 325]. Now a drug from Kiao and 
Kuang [v. supra] is also received in the Sacrificial Court. 
This is the true fruit of the huang huan. Another name for 
the huang huan is RE Be tu ku. 
Lr Sut-cuen says that Wu P‘u’s account of the huang 
huan is correct, but he does not understand what plant Su 
Kune means.
