\r旋（徐愿切）花\ph141.bmp\r，生豫州平泽，今处处皆有之。苏恭云∶此即平泽所
生旋 （音福）是也。其根
似筋，故一名筋根。《别录》云∶根主续筋，故南人皆呼为续筋根。苗作丛蔓，叶似山芋而
狭长；花白，夏秋生遍田野；根无毛节，蒸煮堪啖，甚甘美。五月采花，阴干。二月、八月
采根，日干。花今不见用者，下品有旋（徐元切）复花，与此殊别。人疑其相近，殊无谓也。
《救急方》续断筋法∶取旋 草根，净洗去土，捣，量疮大小敷之，日一、二易之，乃瘥止
。一名肫肠草，俗谓鼓子花也。黔南出一种旋花，粗茎，大叶，无花，不作蔓，恐别是一物
也。
\r地不容\ph142.bmp\r，生戎州。味苦，大寒，无毒。蔓生，叶青，如杏叶而大，浓
硬，凌冬不凋；无花实
；根黄白色，外皮微粗褐，累累相连，如药实而圆大。采无时。能解蛊毒，辟瘴气，治咽喉
闭塞。乡人亦呼为解毒子。
\r当归\ph143.bmp\r，生陇西川谷，今川蜀、陕西诸郡及江宁府、滁州皆有之，以蜀
中者为胜。春生苗，绿
叶有三瓣；七、八月开花，似莳萝，浅紫色；根黑黄色。二月、八月采根，阴干。然苗有二
种，都类芎 ，而叶有大小为异，茎梗比芎 甚卑下，根亦二种，大叶名马尾当归，细叶名
蚕头当归，大抵以肉浓而不枯者为胜。谨按《尔雅》云∶薜（布革切），山蕲（古芹字巨斤
切）
。郭璞注引《广雅》云∶山蕲，当归也。似蕲而粗大。释曰∶《说文》云∶蕲草也。生山中
者名薜，一名山蕲。然则当归芹类也。在平地者名芹，生山中而粗大者，名当归也。
旋花（徐愿切），生长在豫州的平原沼泽地带，如今各地都有。苏恭说：这就是在平泽生长的旋蒴苣苔（音福）。它的根像筋一样，所以又名筋根。《名医别录》记载：根部主治接续断裂的筋骨，所以南方人都叫它续筋根。它的茎叶呈丛生蔓延状，叶子像山药但更狭长；花朵白色，夏秋季节遍布田野；根部没有毛和节，蒸煮后可以食用，味道非常甘美。五月采集花朵，阴干。二月、八月采集根部，晒干。现在的花朵已不再使用，下品中有旋覆花（徐元切），与此完全不同。人们怀疑它们相近，这是毫无意义的。《救急方》中接续断筋的方法：取旋花草根，洗净泥土，捣碎，根据伤口大小敷在上面，每天更换一两次，直到痊愈为止。又名肫肠草，俗称鼓子花。黔南地区出产一种旋花，茎粗壮，叶子大，不开花，不蔓生，恐怕是另一种植物。
地不容，生长在戎州。味苦，性大寒，无毒。藤蔓生长，叶子青色，像杏叶但更大，厚实坚硬，过冬不凋谢；不开花结果；根黄白色，外皮微粗糙呈褐色，累累相连，像药丸一样圆大。随时可以采集。能解蛊毒，驱除瘴气，治疗咽喉闭塞。当地人也叫它解毒子。
当归，生长在陇西的川谷地带，如今川蜀、陕西各郡以及江宁府、滁州都有，以蜀地产的最好。春天生出苗，绿叶有三瓣；七、八月开花，形状像莳萝，浅紫色；根黑黄色。二月、八月采集根部，阴干。然而苗有两种，都类似芎藭，但叶子有大小之分，茎梗比芎藭低矮得多，根也有两种，大叶的叫马尾当归，细叶的叫蚕头当归，大体上以肉质丰厚不干枯的为优。谨按《尔雅》记载：薜（布革切），就是山芹菜（古芹字巨斤切）。郭璞注引《广雅》说：山芹菜，就是当归。形状像芹菜但更粗大。解释说：《说文解字》说：蕲是一种草。生长在山中的叫薜，一名山芹菜。那么当归属于芹菜类。生长在平地的叫芹，生长在山中且粗大的，名叫当归。
Xuanhua (Xu Yuan Qie), grows in the plains and marshes of Yuzhou, and is now found everywhere. Su Gong stated: This is the Xuan Shu Ju Tai (sound Fu) that grows in Pingze. Its root resembles sinews, hence another name is Jingen (Sinew Root). The *Bielu* records: The root treats the healing of broken sinews, therefore people in the south call it XuJingen (Continuing Sinew Root). Its seedlings grow in clumps with creeping vines; leaves resemble those of Dioscorea (Yam) but are narrower and longer; flowers are white, appearing throughout fields in summer and autumn; roots have no hairs or nodes, can be steamed or boiled for consumption, and are very sweet and delicious. Flowers are harvested in May and dried in the shade. Roots are harvested in February and August and dried in the sun. Flowers are currently not used; there is a lower-grade herb called Xuanfu Hua (Xu Yuan Qie / Inula Flower), which is distinct from this. People suspect they are similar, which is meaningless. The method for healing broken sinews in *Jiuji Fang*: Take the root of Xuanhua, wash clean to remove soil, pound it, apply according to the size of the wound, change once or twice daily, until healed. Another name is Zhunchang Cao, commonly known as Guzihua (Drum Son Flower). A type of Xuanhua produced in Qianan has thick stems, large leaves, no flowers, and does not creep, likely being a different species.
Di Burong, grows in Rongzhou. Taste is bitter, nature is greatly cold, non-toxic. Grows as a vine, leaves are green, resembling apricot leaves but larger, thick and hard, remaining evergreen through winter; produces no flowers or fruits; roots are yellowish-white, outer skin slightly rough and brownish, clustered together, round and large like medicinal pills. Harvested at any time. Can resolve Gu poison, repel miasma, treat throat obstruction. Locals also call it Jieduzi.
Danggui, grows in the river valleys of Longxi. Now found in Sichuan, Shu, Shaanxi prefectures, as well as Jiangning Prefecture and Chuzhou, with those from Shu being superior. Seedlings emerge in spring, green leaves with three leaflets; flowers bloom in July and August, resembling Anethum graveolens (Dill), pale purple; roots are blackish-yellow. Roots are harvested in February and August and dried in the shade. However, there are two types of seedlings, both resembling Xiongqiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong), but differing in leaf size; stems are much lower than Ligusticum. There are also two types of roots: large-leaf type is named Mawei Danggui (Horse-tail Danggui), fine-leaf type is named Cantou Danggui (Silkworm-head Danggui). Generally, those with plump flesh and not dry are considered superior. According to *Erya*: Bi (Bu Ge Qie), is Shanqi (Gu Qin Zi Ju Jin Qie / Mountain Celery). Guo Pu's commentary cites *Guangya*: Shanqi is Danggui. Resembles celery but thicker and larger. Explanation: *Shuowen Jiezi* states: Qi is a grass. Those growing in mountains are named Bi, also known as Shanqi. Thus, Danggui belongs to the celery family. Those growing in flatlands are named Qin (Celery); those growing in mountains and being thick and large are named Danggui.
