葳𧄜（上委歸反下蕤壘反說文葳草木花盛皃也𧄜草花心也並從草威繠皆聲繠音女壘反集作蕊玉篇無此字）。

Luxuriant flowers: 葳 [wei] (upper character: 委 + 歸 fanqie); 𧄜 [rui] (lower character: 蕤 + 壘 fanqie. The Shuowen jiezi says: "'Wei' is the luxuriant appearance of flowering vegetation; 'rui' is the pistil and stamen of flowers. Both derive from radical 草 'grass', with 威 and 繠 as phonetics"; 繠 is pronounced 女 + 壘 fanqie. The collection writes it as 蕊, which does not exist in the Yupian).
