Section on Trees, Vol. 33

A traditional Chinese woodcut illustration of a Poria cocos (Fuling) sclerotium. The image depicts a large, irregular, bulbous mass representing the fungus. The surface is rendered with a dense pattern of swirling, wavy, and concentric black lines, giving it a highly textured, wrinkled, or bark-like appearance. The illustration is contained within a simple rectangular border, with descriptive text located in the margin to the left.
