笮蓬棵(Salsoia Rutheniac)系藜科(Chenopodiaceae)猪毛菜属(Salsola)植物之一种。夏季因该植物之叶柔嫩如猪毛状,所以叫做猪毛菜。秋季因叶端形成坚硬之刺,以手触及则刺手所以又叫笮蓬棵。有的文献记载叫钾叉明棵,因尚无统一的中文学名,所以我们根据农民的叫法采用了笮蓬棵这个俗名。待将来有统一的中文学名后,再为改正。 Salsoia Rutheniac is a member of the Chenopodiaceae genus Salsola. Summer because of the tender leaves of plants such as pig hair, so called Salsola. Autumn due to the formation of hard ends of the leaf tip to touch the hand so called thorn Peng Peng tree. Some documents called Kashiwakari Kusakabe, because there is no uniform Chinese scientific name, so we used the nickname of Peng Peng tree under the common name. To be unified in the future Chinese name, then correct.
