穀精草 Gowitga (고윗가)
Gokjeongcho is a small annual of paddies and damp fields, known in Korean today as byeolsuyeompul. Button-like white flower heads sit on the tips of thin stalks. The Dongui Bogam gives the old Korean name gowitga and says it is gathered from grain fields in the second and third months.
