Cultural legends of Caragana

In the Qing Dynasty, Chen Haozhi's Hua Jing, Volume 3, Flower and Tree Classification, there is such a passage:

The broom has branches and twigs like those of forsythia, and leaves like those of locust trees but with small thorns. It blooms yellow flowers in mid-spring, which are pointed in shape and have two petals that open to the side, making it look as lovely as a flying bird. When the flowers are blooming, pick the ones with whiskers on the roots and plant them in a shady place and they will survive. Blanch it in salt water and make tea.

(Note: Broom is a genus of Caragana in the Fabaceae family. It is an evergreen shrub with palmate compound leaves, which are formed from three leaflets and have no tendrils. There are one or two flowers, which grow in the leaf axils. The corolla is butterfly-shaped and golden in color. The name can be found in "Qunfang Pu", and another name is yellow broom flower, which can be found in "Compendium of Materia Medica Supplement". Another name is flying phoenix, which can be found in "Jiaxing Prefecture Records".)
