樹皮 Urija Namukkeopjil (우리자 나무껍질)
Supi simply means tree bark, and in the Donguibogam's wood section it continues an entry begun just above. The same passage runs on to the rowan, to birch bark, and to mokbyeolja, which carried the mark reserved for goods imported from China.

主諸瘡, 除身皮熱毒. 《本草》
It chiefly governs sores of every kind and removes heat toxin in the skin of the body. 《Boncho (本草)》
HomiclubFollowing urija and its root juice, this refers to the trunk bark of the galmae buckthorn. Its branch tips harden into sharp thorns and its leaves sit in near-opposite pairs, so anyone stripping the bark looks to those thorns first.
