A further 120 li west stands Mount Fú [浮]. There are many Pàn Mù [盼], whose leaves resemble those of trifoliate orange, but which have no thorns; wood-boring creatures live in them.

Its scent resembles Míwú [蘼蕪]; wearing it cures pestilential illness.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas. Open the reader for the Chinese editions and translator’s notes.
