| Notes: | Label source: So Mokou Zoussetz vol v. fig 1 Conioselinum univittatum, Turez, Fr et Sav. vol ii. p.375 Sen-kiu is a hard, somewhat rounded, very knotty rhizome, one or two inches in circumference, and apparently formed at first by swellings of the intern, odes, which are distant about 1/2 an inch from each other. These swellings seem to be formed into a rounded mass in the course of development of the rhizome. This mode of growth appears evident from the portions of the cylindrical stem which may be found, attached to some of the specimens, and which have small knobs at the nodes. The rhizome id greyish brown externally, and greyish and horny and slightly marbled with white internally, and has an aromatic taste recalling that of fenugreek of lovage seeds. S, eng-kin grows in shady places in mountainous woods and flowers in July. | ||||
