MATERIA MEDICA OF THE ANCIENT CHINESE, 453 
There are two more kinds of kué noticed in the Pen ts‘ao 
kang mu. 
KZ RE U'ien chu kui. P., XXXIV, 22. 7., COXLL 
It is first mentioned by Li Siin [8th cent.] as growing 
in Nan hai [in Kuang tung, App. 228] in mountain-valleys. 
Its bark is used like that of the common kui. It is thin and 
not very pungent or ardent. 
K‘ou Tsune-su1 [12th cent.]:—This bark resembles that 
of the mou kui [see 303] but is thinner. 
It Sui-cuen:—This is the same as the jl] #§ shan 
(mountain) kui which is found in Kuang tung, Fu kien and 
Che kiang. It grows plentifully in T‘ien chu in the prefecture 
of T'ai chou, whence the name.” It is a large tree which 
flowers abundantly. The fruit is of the size of a Lotus-nut. 
The Indian (Tien chu] Buddhist priests believe that it is the 
yite kui [see further on]. | 
_ P.Smrra [63] identifies Ten chu kui with Cinnamomum 
Tamala, a kind of Cinnamon, he says, which is spoken of in 
the Pen ts‘ao as of Indian origin, ete.—T‘ien cha, indeed, 
means India, but in the above-quoted passage this name 
seems to refer to a place, perhaps a monastery, in Che kiang. 
Stes., Geon., 138 :—FKE % HE, Cinnamomum japonicum 
(i.e. C. pedunculatum, Nees). Japonice: kurotsusu. E fructibus 
€xprimitur oleum. In Sres. Jeon. ined. [V1] the same 
Chinese name is applied to Litswa glauca, §., and L. foliosa, 8. 
(Laurinee ). — See also Phon 20 [LXXX, 11], the figure 
under the same Chinese name. 
Hi ti yie hui. P., XXXIV, 22. 
Cr‘en Ts‘anc-K‘t [8th cent.] relates that all over Kiang 
tung, in the 4th or 5th month, the fruits of the yie kui are 
found on the roads, They are as large as the / tou (fox bean)
