No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.

Extensive searches across multiple catalogs (UNESCO, Open Library, Google Books) for Wu Qijun's 'Zhiwu Mingshi Tukao' (Illustrated Investigation of the Names and Realities of Plants) returned no records of an English translation. While the work is a foundational text in Chinese botany and is frequently cited or excerpted in scholarly works like those of Emil Bretschneider and Joseph Needham, no standalone or complete English translation of the treatise or its individual volumes has been published. This appears to be the first English translation of the text.
