Botanical Description
The Pinyin name 'Gu Zhi Hua' (possible Chinese-character renderings include 谷芷花 or 骨脂花) does not correspond to an entry in the standard Chinese materia medica references available to the editor (Bensky et al., Chinese Pharmacopoeia, Yi Lin Gai Cuo, Zhong Yao Da Ci Dian summary). It may represent a regional folk name, a transcription variant, an orthographic error, or a very minor local remedy. Because no reliable botanical identification can be established without further specialist input, all morphological and indication detail is withheld. Verification by a TCM materia medica specialist with access to regional Chinese-language sources is recommended before any field values are populated for this record.
