Botanical Description

Shui Duo Nian is a minor folk-medicine name that cannot be reliably matched to a single botanical species in the principal modern references. It does not appear as a headword in Bensky and Gamble, the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, or the standard Zhong Yao Da Ci Dian entries consulted. Possible interpretations of "water-much-year" point toward wetland perennials, but no specific binomial can be assigned with confidence. Pending verification against regional gazetteers and ethnobotanical surveys, this entry is treated as botanically unidentifiable.
