嘉慶二十四年（1819）《新安縣志》卷之三 輿地二「物產」門，豆類收尾之後依次係芋、薯、芝麻，然後開「菜」門（人手核讀：全部喺掃描本第 69 頁下葉，版心「卷之三 物產」頁次「二」）。豆類以一句收束：「又有綠豆、眉豆、三收豆，合禾、祿、稻、麥而總名之曰菽，此五穀之大凡也。」芋「以黃芋為最」，另有青芋、銀芋，「其莖俱甘滑可食」。薯「類不一」，縣志列出甘薯、山薯、番薯、薯葛、薯毛薯、紅薯、白薯、大薯之別，並記「惟番薯，土人閒以之代飯，頗有補益，以其得土性厚也」——即 1819 年番薯已入新安縣民主食之列。芝麻「一名胡麻，亦曰巨勝」，有黃白黑三種，「其黑者益腎最宜人」。「菜」門先總述「菜之產不一」，再按四時開列：春則「芥、藍、君達、生菜、薑、蒜、菠薐、萵苣、蕹、蒲稍」；後夏則「莧菜、豆角、翁菜、涼瓜、黃瓜、節瓜」；秋冬則「白菜、芥菜、蘿蔔、冬瓜、生薑」；「至葱、韭四時皆有焉」。其後轉記海菜：一種葉「如掌大」，綠色，土人「以淡水灑之，則色白如雪」，可「療痰疾」，「一名大葉苔」；「海藻，俗名馬尾茜，人多採之以油醋拌食」；另有一種色紫、生海涯石上嘅菜（條名未高倍覆核，唔引），「可為裱糊之」；「紫菜生海涯石上，為食品所珍，故銷售甚廣」。呢條係由公共領域掃描本人手核讀出嚟嘅內容事實，同志錄並排對照：《香港志》志錄 1819 年有一條（EV-18190000-24）總述呢部縣志「在穀類、菜、茶、果、花、草、木、竹、藤等條目內，記錄了多樣植物，並附有關於分佈、形態等層面的扼要介紹」——志錄只到「有呢幾門、有扼要介紹」嘅程度，冇逐項菜名，亦冇番薯代飯一節，所以兩者唔可以互相當第二來源；本條冇用志錄補任何未核到嘅字。如實列出未核部分：①「君達」「蒲稍」「翁菜」三名只憑全葉圖辨認，未做窄欄高倍逐字覆核，唔當已核；② 大葉苔一段嘅條首數字未確認，所以只引「葉如掌大」「以淡水灑之，則色白如雪」「療痰疾」「一名大葉苔」；③ 色紫海菜嘅條名未確認，只寫「另有一種」。三項已寫入 HANDOVER，下一批以窄欄高倍圖補核。

In juan 3 (“Radiations of the Earth”, part 2), section “Products”, of the Jiaqing 24 (1819) Xin’an County Gazetteer (read by hand from the lower leaf of page 69 of the scan, running head “Xin’an County Gazetteer, juan 3, Products”, folio two), the pulse list closes with a single sentence: green gram, black-eyed pea and three-crop bean, together with rice, millet, paddy and wheat, are all classed as “shu”, and that is the sum of the five grains. Taro follows, “yellow taro being the best”, with green and silver taro as well, “their stems all sweet and slippery and fit to eat”. Of the tubers the gazetteer says there are several kinds — sweet potato, mountain tuber, foreign potato, arrowroot-like tuber, hairy tuber, red and white sorts, and large tuber — and adds that “only the foreign potato do the locals eat in place of rice; it is quite nourishing, because it takes a thick constitution from the soil”, which places the sweet potato among the county’s staple foods by 1819. Sesame is “also called hu ma, or ju sheng”, in yellow, white and black kinds, “the black being best for the kidneys and most suited to people”. The vegetable section opens by saying that “the produce of the vegetable plot is not of one kind” and then lists by season: in spring, mustard, woad, jun-da, lettuce, ginger, garlic, spinach, celtuce, water spinach and pu-shao; in late summer, amaranth, yard-long beans, weng-cai, bitter melon, cucumber and winter melon; in autumn and winter, cabbage, mustard greens, radish, winter melon and ginger; “as for spring onion and chives, they are had in all four seasons.” Sea vegetables follow: one whose leaves are “as broad as a palm”, green, which the locals “sprinkle with fresh water so that the colour turns white as snow”, and which “cures phlegm complaints”, “also called big-leaf moss”; then “sea moss, commonly called horse-tail rue, which many gather and eat dressed with oil and vinegar”; another purple kind growing on seaside rocks (its entry name not confirmed at high magnification and therefore not quoted) which “can be used for mounting and pasting”; and “laver grows on seaside rocks, is prized as food, and therefore sells very widely.” This is a content fact read by hand off a public-domain scan; set beside the Chronicles archive, the single 1819 entry there (EV-18190000-24) says only that the gazetteer “records a variety of plants under the categories of grains, vegetables, tea, fruits, flowers, grasses, trees, bamboo and rattans, with brief descriptions of their distribution and morphology” — it stops at the level of sections and does not list a single vegetable or the sweet-potato-as-staple note, so neither can serve as a second source for the other, and nothing unread here was filled in from the archive. Stated plainly, three items remain unverified: the names jun-da, pu-shao and weng-cai were read from the full-leaf image only and were not checked character by character on a magnified column crop; the first characters of the big-leaf-moss entry are not confirmed, so only the phrases quoted above are given; and the entry name of the purple sea vegetable is unconfirmed, so it is described but not named. All three are recorded in HANDOVER for the next pass.
