Leonurus macranthus
Etymology
About
蓷 is a phono-semantic compound with the semantic radical 艹 (grass) at the top, indicating it belongs to the plant category. The lower component 推 serves as the phonetic element, providing the pronunciation "tuī". Historically, this character was created to denote a specific medicinal plant, motherwort (Leonurus japonicus), combining its botanical classification with a phonetic clue to form a precise term used in classical Chinese medicine and botanical writings.
