每年4月底,北国大漠草木开始复苏。当你走进内蒙古西部的腾格里沙漠、巴丹吉林沙漠,或新疆的古尔班通古特沙漠、塔克拉玛干沙漠,如果幸运的话,你就会在梭梭林或红柳林下,看到从沙漠中长出的一支支粉红色或紫红色的美丽花朵。如果向下挖去,你就会挖出一条白色似肉的茎,表面密布鳞片,基部只有一条细细的根,这种神奇的植物就是名贵中药--肉苁蓉。 At the end of April each year, the vegetation in the northern country has begun to recover. When you enter the Tengger Desert in the west of Inner Mongolia, the Badain Jaran Desert, or the Gurbantunggut Desert and the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, if you are lucky, you will see from the Haloxylin or Tamarix forest. A pink or purple beautiful flower that grows in the desert. If you dig down, you will dig out a white flesh-like stem with densely scaled surfaces and only a thin root at the base. This magical plant is the rare Chinese herb, Cistanche.
