98.86

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).
