Botanical Description
Zhu Yang Yang (猪殃殃) is a regional Chinese common name most often associated with Galium spurium L. or Galium aparine L. (Rubiaceae, cleavers), but the name has also been recorded for other small clinging herbs in folk usage and is not a standard pharmacopoeial designation. Without an accompanying Latin name on the source record to disambiguate, definitive species assignment cannot be made. The candidate cleaver species are scrambling annuals with square stems, whorls of 6–8 narrow leaves, and tiny white four-petaled flowers, all clothed in minute recurved bristles that catch on fur and clothing. Because the entry is not part of the core materia medica and the identification is uncertain, this record follows the unidentifiable null-pattern.
