original: "陽藿" (yánghuò). A relative of common ginger, it is grown for its aromatic flower buds and young shoots, which are used as a flavorful garnish or pickled.

original: "珍珠菜" (zhēnzhūcài). Also known as Gooseneck Loosestrife, this plant produces small white flowers resembling pearls; its young leaves are a traditional spring vegetable.

original: "木榧子" (mùfěizǐ). The seeds of the Torreya nucifera tree. While we would classify this as a nut today, it is included in the vegetable scrolls likely due to its role in vegetarian temple cuisine or its use in medicinal cooking.
