卉木 (The first character has the fanqie huī-guì [huì]. The Shuowen jiezi says: "The general name for grasses; it is formed from [the semantic component] 屮 (with the fanqie chǒu-liè) and from 艸 (pronounced cǎo). In clerical script nowadays it is abbreviated to follow 三十 (thirty), making 卉; it is also pronounced with the fanqie huī-guǐ, which is also acceptable").
