  Comments:
including these as headwords makes a mess of the entry.  it's almost inconceivable to me that they would ever be provided without telling the reader without アスパラガス furigana, and all the web hits i find just seem to be websites saying "did you know asparagus is also written as 竜髭菜", etc.  google image hits for 龍鬚菜 look nothing like what we normally call "asparagus" in english, and suggest that they correspond to Asparagus schoberioides, which is a different species

this could perhaps take a "also written as 竜髭菜" note, but given its rarity, and the fact that no dictionary bothers, i don't think it's needed
