Translator's annotation

The box is labeled on the both sides with slightly different names: 益智 and 益志. There are multiple herbs and their bags in the box. One of the bags is labeled as Shan Cha / 山查 [Shan Zha / 山楂 (Crataegus Fruit, Hawthorn Fruit)], but it is not clear if any of the contents is this herb.

There also is another unlabeled/unidentified herb that looks like root or wood barks.
