Com us stolonifera var. (or) one unit of plant/tree Explanation: This word is very tricky. It has several meanings. All depends on the context. "株" has several meanings: (1) roots, trunks or stems; (2) a plant; (3) a measuring unit for "trees" or "plants". For example, "一株木" may mean "one unit of tree". But "株木" may also mean a specific type of wood for furniture making. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2007-07-29 04:33:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- By (2) a plant, I mean "plants in general". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2007-07-29 04:36:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 种 名： 金枝偃伏株木 学 名： Com us stolonifera var． 别 名： 科： 山茱萸科 属： 梾木属 形态特征 冬季其枝条金黄或黄绿色。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-07-29 05:31:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Should be "Cornus stolonifera var."

Castanopsis, Evergreenchinkapin Explanation: 栲kao3树（槠zhu1木，椎zhui1木，株zhu1木） This probably refers to a tree whose wood is often used for flooring. In this industry the naming of wood origins is really confusing. In this case, 株木 should be a dialectal name or in-trade simplified written form for 槠木. They pronounce exactly the same. The academic name is 栲kao3, which has two alternative names 椎zhui1 and 槠zhu1木.
