蓖麻油（上閉迷反考聲蓖麻藥名也子斑蝥形似狗蜱故以為名或作𮏰經從豆作豍說文豍留豆也非經義也）。

Castor oil (蓖麻油: the upper character is with the fanqie of 閉 and 迷. The Kaosheng says: "蓖麻 is the name of a medicinal herb; its seeds are mottled like blister beetles and shaped like dog ticks, hence the name." It is sometimes written as 𮏰. In the scriptures it is written with the bean radical as 豍; the Shuowen says 豍 means the cowpea, which is not the meaning of the scripture).
