Yeopgeupgeun means 'leaf and root'. In the Donguibogam's herb section it is a sub-entry gathering the leaf and root of the plant heading above it, and all that survives is the line about pressing out the juice. The heading carries no plant name, so this panel alone cannot identify it.

HomiclubThis entry sets apart the leaf and root of the plantain, the plant behind chajeonja in the preceding entry. Jilgyeongi spreads its leaves in a flat rosette straight from the root, with a spike rising from the center, and its young leaves are still blanched and eaten as a namul vegetable.
