518 BOTANICON SINICUM. 
The Kuang ya [3rd cent.] calls it jah %% shen tsien 
(divine arrow). 
T‘ao Hune-Kine:—It is common in the mountains. 
The bark, which has wings, is stripped off for use. It is 
seldom used in medicine, 
Su Sune [11th cent.]:—It is found in all the prefectures 
of Kiang and Huai [Kiang su and An hui, App. 124, 89]. 
The stem is from four to five feet and more high. It is 
provided with three wings like the wings of an arrow. The 
leaves resemble those of the shan ch‘a (mountain tea). The 
branches and the stem are gathered in the 8th, 11th and 
12th months. The wood of the tree is called Jf FP hou ku 
(dog’s bone), 
K‘ou Ts‘una-snr [12th cent.]:—It is common in the 
mountains but not met with in the plain. The leaves are 
scanty. The stem is of a yellowish gray colour like that of 
the po tree [Evodia. See 31 5]. The bark has ridges on 
three sides like the edges of a knife. The people use it 
freely for fumigating to expel evil spirits. It is seldom 
employed as a medicine, 
It Sui-cuen :—The kui tsien grows in the mountains 
among rocks. It has a small trunk. Along the young 
branches run three wings. The leaves resemble those of the 
ye ch‘a (wild tea). They stand opposite and are of a sour, 
harsh taste. It blossoms in the 3rd or 4th month. Small 
yellowish green flowers. The fruit is as large as that of the 
tung ts‘ing [Ilex. See 342]. The mountain people use this 
tree only for fuel. 
Ch, XXXII, 42:—Wei mou. The figure represents 
a tree with leaves and winged branches. Henry [ Chin. pl. 
321] may be right in identifying it with Evonymus alatus, 
Thbg.
