苦薏 Deulgukhwa (들국화)
Goui is the wild chrysanthemum. The text says so outright, 'this is the field chrysanthemum,' and the bitter first character of the name records its taste. It is a short entry covering the small yellow chrysanthemums that come up untended along paths and field edges.

HomiclubGoui takes the graph go (苦, bitter) into its name from its taste; it is the wild chrysanthemum, the sanguk and gamguk that come up on their own along field banks and roadsides.
