樹皮 Bae Namukkeopjil (배 나무껍질)

Supi means simply tree bark. In Donguibogam it appears in the fruit section as a sub-item trailing some fruit tree's entry, and the fragment alone does not say which tree the bark came from. The original leaves only a single line: boil it down and wash with the liquid.
