Translator's annotation

Dr. Ger : H-254 - (Ch'uan-mu-kua) - "Chaenomelis fructus". The last character is not the standard character for gua (gourd), and will require further clarification, however the herb contained within the box very much appears to be Mu Gua.
Also known as Chuan Mu Gua / 川木瓜 (Mu Gua from Sichuan)
