"Mao" means "cat." Probably a play on "pussywillow."

I found a bunch of these in the Deadtalker's Plateau (52, 52), but there are a lot of mobs. Not bad if you are a druid though :)
Just go on North up the past, BEYOND Deadwalker Plateau and all the 90 undead, to around 55, 46, and the field is full of them (esp along the edge of the cliffs). Takes just a few mins, risk free. If you have not finished the turtles and rhino's, this is a good spot too. BTW, if you keep going North in the field just a little, and look up on some rocks at 57, 43, there is the Burning Pandarian Spirit, a Grand Master Pet Tamer.

Description
A dry bandage doesn't do much good, other than maybe keeping bugs out of the wound. In some camps, that's the best you can hope for. Not in my camp, though. I prefer to make a paste from whatever soothing herbs I can find, and layer that between bandages. The most soothing herbs I've been able to find in the field are the Mao-Willows from the fields in the northeast. If you run into any, bring them back.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
