# 阿育魏實 阿育魏实 [a1 yu4 wei4 shi2] /seed of ajwain (used in traditional Chinese medicine)/Semen Trachyspermi coptici/

# also a spice - has already been submitted and processed.

# Me, I would have made it:

# + 阿育魏實 阿育魏实 [a1 yu4 wei4 shi2] /carom seeds/seeds of ajwain (Trachyspermum copticum)/

 

# if we are going to add ac points, maybe we should be more systematic (format, English names...)

# 腹哀 腹哀 [fu4 ai1] /"Abdominal lament," the name of an acupuncture point (SP-16)/

 

# this one seems rather restricted to TCM

# 为龙胆科植物百金花的带花全草。

 

# 矮呆病 矮呆病 [ai3 dai1 bing4] /cretinism (traditional Chinese medical term)/

# medical, simply. Chinese sources like to say "fexism", I wonder where they got that word

 

# 本品为南方地区民间草药。商品为紫金牛科植物紫金牛的干燥全株。

# 紫金牛 is the plant, 矮地茶 the preparation; although the plant will also be named 矮地茶

 

# 矮瓜 矮瓜 [ai3 gua1] /eggplant (used in traditional Chinese medicine)/Fructus Solani melongenae/

# I'll bet eggplant is best known for culinary uses. And pseudo-Latin adds nothing.

 

# that is just the name of the plant :

# 白花蛇舌草（學名：Hedyotis diffusa，英文名稱：Spreading Hedyotis）[1]，別稱白花十字草、蛇舌草、蛇舌癀、蛇針草、蛇總管、龍舌草、鶴舌草、矮腳白花蛇利草、尖刀草、竹葉草、珠仔草、羊鬚草、目目生珠草、節節結蕊草、二葉葎、南地珠、千打捶、竹葉草等...

# live with it: this kind of name is simply the name of the plant, not a specific part of it. Just like when you say "I'm drinking camomile", you mean "I'm drinking an infusion of flowers of camomile"

# 熊胆草 - 别名:苦荒尖、苦龙胆（滇南本草）、苦蒿、矮脚苦蒿、鱼胆草、细苦蒿、虎胆草、苦草

# 矮腳苦蒿 矮脚苦蒿 [ai3 jiao3 ku3 hao1] /herb of Blin's horseweed (used in traditional Chinese medicine)/Herba Conyzae blinii/
