40.261

瓜蔓(上古花反廣雅云龍蹄虎掌羊骹兔頭桂杖狸頭等瓜屬也說文云瓜蓏也象形經作苽非也下音萬)。

Melon vine (瓜蔓: the first character is pronounced 古花 [guā]. The Guangya says: "'Dragon-hoof', 'tiger-paw', 'sheep-shin', 'rabbit-head', 'cassia-staff', 'wildcat-head', and the like are kinds of melons." The Shuowen says: "Melons are gourd vegetables [luǒ]. Pictographic." The scripture writes it as 苽, which is incorrect. The second character is pronounced 萬 [wàn]).
