The 'Bencao Gangmu Shiyi' (Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica) by Zhao Xuemin is a distinct 18th-century work that expands upon Li Shizhen's famous materia medica. While the original 'Bencao Gangmu' has been translated into English (notably by Paul Unschuld), no complete or volume-specific English translation of Zhao Xuemin's supplement was found in any of the searched catalogs or databases. Scholarly literature on Chinese medicine frequently references the work and may contain translated excerpts, but a published translation of the text itself does not exist.
