5.78

紫𨥥(下古猛反藥名也案本草云出西戎以樹皮葉共煎成也可入藥用也經作鑛礦二形金王樸也非紫𨥥字也)。

Lac (紫𨥥) (the second character is gu + meng fan [kǒng]; the name of a medicinal substance. According to the Materia Medica: "It comes from the Western Rong, made by boiling tree bark and leaves together. It can be used as medicine." The scripture writes 鑛 or 礦, which mean unrefined ore, not the character for lac).
