446 BOTANICON SINICUM. 
HE $% kui chi (branch) and E Ip kui sin (heart). Now 
the drug produced in Yung chou and Kui chou [both in 
Kuang si, App. 430, 164] and in Kiao chou [in Kuang 
tung, App. 182] is much valued.—The other sort, the $j #£ 
kiin kui, has leaves resembling those of the shi (Diospyros 
shitze). The leaves have three roads (nerves), are glabrous 
on both sides’and shining. The bark of the larger as well 
as of the small branches forms tubes. Only the old, hard 
bark does not roll up, and appears in a flat form. It has 
but little aroma and is not used in medicine. But the 
bark of the slender branches is thin and rolls up. That 
rolled up two or three fold is much valued. It is also known 
under the name {fj #E t‘wng (tube) kuz. This is the siao

has but little aroma, is called Hg [| pan (board) kui (for it 
does not roll up]. It is not used in medicine.—The # | 
mou kué has leaves like the p‘i pia [v. supra]. They are 
narrow and twice or thrice as long as those of the hin kui. 
The bark taken from the young branches curls inward on 
both sides. That of a purplish colour, with wrinkles 0 
the flesh and of a delicate structure is called FE BE hw chi, 
also Py | jou kui. After the outer coat of the bark has 
been scraped off, the drug is called { jp) kui sin. The thick 
bark is called AK | mu (wood) kui. The leaves are likewise —
