As he spoke, fearing that Chenxi might not believe him, he pointed to a blade of grass in the bushes ahead, "This is Rehmannia glutinosa." He then pointed to another spot, "This is Angelica dahurica, that one is Saposhnikovia divaricata, and this one is Plantago asiatica, and there is Artemisia argyi over there."
