27.199

Aromatic wood (櫁: Ziyuan has *mji-yit* [fanqie: 民一], an aromatic wood. The Qieyun gives the tree name as 榓. The Yupian says: '櫁 is an aromatic wood; written as 䀄 is incorrect. The tree resembles the pagoda tree (sophora), but its fragrance is extraordinarily strong. Five years after felling, it is ready for use; when harvesting its fragrance, one must cut it beforehand and wait a long time for the fragrance to emerge').
