Polygonum multiflorum (He Shou Wu)
Abundantly produced in Mengshan. The vines twine around trees, blooming in autumn with yellowish-white flowers in conical inflorescences. It has thick, chunky tuberous roots. In traditional Chinese medicine, the root is used as medicine—slightly warm in nature, with a bitter, sweet, and astringent taste. It functions to nourish the liver and kidneys, and enrich essence and blood. (Longevity)
