Definition
红蓝 (with pinyin 'gōng') is a noun referring to certain plants, such as the magenta plant (Peristrophe bivalvis, Peristrophe roxburghiana) and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius). However, the pinyin 'gōng' appears inconsistent with the characters '红蓝', which would normally be read as 'hóng lán'. This row may contain a data error.
