Xi (Genus: *Adenophora* or related species, here referring to a specific herb contextually linked with knee/joint issues in some texts, but literally "Knee" often refers to *Adenophora stricta* or similar in ancient materia medica lists, though strictly it means the body part. However, in this list of herbs, it likely refers to an herb named Xi or associated with it. Given the context of *Bencao Gangmu* listing herbs, "Xi" here is treated as a herb name entry, likely referring to *Adenophora* or a local name. Note: In many contexts, "Xi" might be a typo for "Xixin" or refer to *Adenophora*. Let's stick to the literal term as an entity.)
