「石蓮子(せきれんし)」とは何か。『本草綱目』に蘇頌(そしょう)が言うには、その〔実〕が秋に至って黒くなり、水に沈んで石蓮子となる、と。また李時珍(りじちん)は言う、「石蓮の黒い殻を刈り(削り)去ったものを蓮肉(れんにく)という」と。
○ 『兼名苑(けんめいえん)』に云う:蓮花がすでに開いたものを「芙■(ふよう?)」といい、いまだ伸び開かぬものを「菡萏(かんたん)」という。

**From *Honzō Kōmoku* (本草綱目, *Bencao Gangmu*, Compendium of Materia Medica):**
菡萏 (*Kantан* / the unopened lotus bud)
[Japanese name: *Hasu no hana*]
---
**From *Imyō Bunruishō* (異名分類抄, Classified Collection of Alternative Names):**
Alternative names for the lotus (*ren* / 蓮):
- *Tsumanashi-kusa* (妻無し草, "husbandless herb")
- *Tsurenashi-kusa* (連れ無し草, "unaccompanied herb")
- *Mizu no hana* (水ノハナ, "water flower")
- *Tsuyu-kan-kusa* (ツユ堪クサ, "dew-bearing herb")
- *Mizukan-sō* (水堪草, "water-bearing herb")
Upon reflection, Cui Bao's *Gujin Zhu* (崔豹『古今注』, *Commentary on Things Ancient and Modern*) states:
"*Fukyō* (芙蕖); another name is *kōka* (荷花, lotus flower); another name is *suika* (水花, water flower)," and so on.
---
**The author further states (in addition to what was said earlier):**
Concerning "*Sekiren-shi*" (石蓮子, "stone lotus seeds"): According to Su Song (蘇頌) in the *Honzō Kōmoku*, the [seeds], upon reaching autumn, turn black and sink into the water, becoming *sekiren-shi*. Li Shizhen (李時珍) further states: "What remains after cutting away the black husk of the stone lotus is called *rennniku* (蓮肉, lotus flesh/meat)."
○ The *Kenmei-en* (兼名苑, *Jianming Yuan*) states: A lotus flower that has already opened is called "*fuyō*" [芙■; character partially illegible], while one that has not yet unfurled is called "*kantан*" (菡萏).
○ That which grows on land (*oka*) is called "*Moku-fuyō*" (木芙蓉, "woody *fuyō*" / *Hibiscus mutabilis*), and it has long been the custom in this country to simply call it "*fuyō*." That which grows in water is called "*Sui-fuyō*" (水芙蓉, "water *fuyō*"), and this is the lotus flower (*renka*).
