Fu Rong Hua (Flos Hibisci mutabalis)

[Guest guest]

I'm looking for materia medica information

(cat/prop/chan/temp/actions/indications) on Fu Rong Hua. Neither Bensky nor

Chen mention it (although Chen does have listings for radix and leaves/ye).

 

I've already tried a couple search engine lists off of Phil's site to no

avail as well as general google searching.

 

Appreciate any information.
