棘樹（矜力反毛詩傳云棘酸棗也廣雅云棘箴也爾雅有牛棘顛棘商棘馬棘狗棘也方言凡草木有束刺人江淮之間謂之棘說文云棘似棗藂生也從竝二朿朿音此漬反論從二来作棗非也）。

棘樹 'Bramble tree' (The first character is fanqie 矜 + 力. The Mao Commentary on the Shijing states: '棘 is the sour jujube.' The Guangya states: '棘 means needles/thorns.' The Erya lists ox bramble, top bramble, merchant bramble, horse bramble, and dog bramble. The Fangyan states: 'Whenever plants and trees have thorns that prick people, in the region between the Yangzi and the Huai rivers they are called 棘.' The Shuowen jiezi states: '棘 resembles the jujube and grows in clumps; it is derived from two 朿 placed side by side; 朿 is pronounced fanqie 此 + 漬.' In the treatise it is written with two 来 as 棗, which is incorrect.).
