菖蒲 (the first character is ch[ǐ] + li[áng] fanqie; the second is b[ó] + h[ú] fanqie; the Qieyun says: "Acorus calamus is the name of a plant; it resembles the orchid and can be made into mats." The Bencao says: "Acorus calamus is a medicinal name; gather the root in the eighth month, and those with a hundred nodes are the best." Orchid is pronounced l[iáng] + r[èn] fanqie).
