无毒。石花菜：主要功效是清除上焦的浮热，同时激发下部的虚寒（注：此处原文“发下部虚寒”在中医语境中通常指引热下行或针对下焦虚寒之证，但直译为“引发/发散下部的虚寒”，结合后文大寒之性，更倾向于清热利湿、软坚散结，此处依字面直译并保留术语）。【名称】橘枝（李时珍说）：这是根据形状命名的。【产地】（李时珍说）：石花生于南海的沙石之间。【形态】：高二三寸，形状像珊瑚，有红、白两种颜色；枝条上有细齿。用沸水冲泡去除砂屑，浇上姜醋食用，口感非常脆。其根埋在沙中，可以再生枝条。有一种稍粗且形状像鸡爪的，称为鸡脚菜，味道更佳。这两种东西长时间浸泡都会化成胶冻状。（郭璞《海赋》）所说的水中生物如玉珧、海月、十肉、石华，就是这种植物。【味道】甘、咸。【性质】大寒、滑利。
无毒。龙须菜：主要功效是治疗瘿瘤结块、热气，通利小便（出自《本草纲目》）。【名称】一种石发，形状像手指，此物与石衣中的“石发”同名。【产地】（未详述具体地点，仅言其生长环境隐含）。【用法】用醋浸泡食用，或与肉一起蒸食也很好。【味道】甘。【性质】寒。
睡菜：主要功效是清除心膈部位的邪热，治疗因热导致的失眠（出自《本草纲目》）。【名称】瞑菜、绰菜、醉草、懒妇葳。【形态】（李时珍说）：据嵇含《草木状》记载，绰菜夏季生长在池沼之间，叶子类似慈菇，根部像藕条。南海人食用它，使人想睡觉，所以叫它瞑菜。（郭宪《洞冥记》）提到有一种“却睡草”，吃了让人不睡觉，与此相反。（《本草纲目》说）：按苦菜、龙葵都能使人不醒觉（提神），所谓的“却睡草”大概属于这类吧？【时令】（段公路《北户录》说）：睡菜在五六月间生长在田塘中，当地人采集根部制成盐腌菜食用，吃了容易嗜睡。【味道】甘、微苦。【性质】寒。
有毒。皂荚蕈：主要功效是消除积滞污垢引起的疼痛，泡汤饮用，轻微腹泻即见效；若未痊愈可再服。又用于治疗初起的肿毒，磨碎后用醋调和涂抹，效果良好（出自《本草纲目》）。【用法】（李时珍说）：生长在皂荚树上的木耳，不可食用。采摘后烘干备用。【味道】辛。【主治】肠风泻血。皂荚树上的蕈，经瓦片焙干研为末，每次服用一钱，温酒送服。
Non-toxic. *Ceramium* (Stonewort): Primarily clears floating heat from the Upper Jiao (upper burner) and addresses deficiency-cold in the Lower Jiao (lower burner). [Name] Ju Zhi (Orange Branch) - Li Shizhen states it is named after its shape. [Habitat] (Li Shizhen states) Grows among sand and stones in the South Sea. [Morphology] Two to three cun high, resembling coral, with red and white varieties; branches have fine serrations. Soak in boiling water to remove sand and debris, then dress with ginger and vinegar for consumption; it is very crisp. Its roots buried in sand can regenerate branches. A slightly thicker variety resembling a chicken's claw is called Ji Jiao Cai (Chicken Claw Vegetable), which has a superior taste. Both varieties turn into a gelatinous substance when soaked for a long time. (Guo Pu's *Rhapsody on the Sea*) refers to aquatic items such as Yu Yao, Hai Yue, Shi Rou, and Shi Hua, which are this organism. [Flavor] Sweet, Salty. [Nature] Greatly Cold, Slippery.
Non-toxic. *Sargassum* (Dragon Beard Vegetable): Primarily treats goiter nodules, clears heat, and promotes urination (from *Bencao Gangmu*). [Name] A type of stone hair, finger-like; shares the name "Shi Fa" (Stone Hair) with the stone hair found in *Lichen*. [Habitat] (Implied marine environment). [Usage] Soak in vinegar for eating, or steam with meat; both methods are excellent. [Flavor] Sweet. [Nature] Cold.
*Phytolacca acinosa* (Sleeping Vegetable): Primarily clears pathogenic heat from the Heart and Diaphragm, treating insomnia caused by heat (from *Bencao Gangmu*). [Name] Ming Cai, Chuo Cai, Zui Cao, Lan Fu Wei. [Morphology] (Li Shizhen states) According to Xi Han's *Zhimu Zhuang*, Chuo Cai grows in ponds and marshes during summer; leaves resemble arrowhead (*Sagittaria*), and roots resemble lotus rhizomes. People in the South Sea eat it, inducing sleepiness, hence the name Ming Cai (Dark/Sleepy Vegetable). (Guo Xian's *Dongming Ji*) mentions Que Shui Cao (Anti-Sleep Grass), which prevents sleep when eaten, the opposite effect. (*Bencao Gangmu* notes) Bitter Cai and Long Kui (*Solanum nigrum*) both keep people awake; the so-called "Anti-Sleep Grass" likely belongs to this category. [Season] (Duan Gonglu's *Buhu Lu* states) Sleeping Vegetable grows in fields and ponds in May and June; locals harvest the roots to make salted pickles, which induce drowsiness. [Flavor] Sweet, slightly Bitter. [Nature] Cold.
Toxic. *Gleditsia sinensis* Mushroom (Soap Pod Mushroom): Primarily resolves accumulation and turbidity causing pain; decoct in water and drink, mild diarrhea indicates efficacy; if not fully cured, take another dose. Also treats early-stage swelling and toxicity: grind and apply mixed with vinegar for good results (from *Bencao Gangmu*). [Usage] (Li Shizhen states) The wood ear mushroom growing on *Gleditsia sinensis* trees is inedible. Harvest and dry for storage. [Flavor] Pungent. [Indications] Intestinal wind with bloody diarrhea. The mushroom from *Gleditsia sinensis* trees, roasted on tiles until dry and powdered, taken one qian per dose, washed down with warm wine.
