Definition in this text:

According to Ludvik, the Chinese corresponds to Laevocamphor, Malay camphor, from Blumea balsamiflora. Maue and Sertkaya, however, note that 艾 ai of 艾納 aina referred to a specific species of Artemisia. Gö Chödrup understood aina in this sense. See Ludvik 2007, p. 312, especially n. 19.
