Illustrated Investigation into the Names and Realities of Plantsoriginal: "Zhiwu Mingshi Tukao" (植物名實圖考). This is a foundational 19th-century botanical encyclopedia compiled by the scholar-official Wu Qijun. The title reflects a scholarly commitment to "rectifying names"—ensuring that historical plant names correctly correspond to the actual physical specimens (the "realities") found in nature.
