赤地利，旧籍中未记载其出产的州郡土地，传说各地山谷都有生长，如今只有华山出产。春夏季节长出苗茎，化作藤蔓缠绕在草木之上，茎呈红色；叶子青色，形状像荞麦叶；七月开出白花，也如同荞麦花；根部类似菝葜（一种植物），外皮黑色，肉质黄红色；八月内采集根部，晒干后使用。它也被称为山荞麦。在此条目之下又有“赤车使者”的条文说：外形似香薷、兰香，叶子和茎呈红色，根呈紫红色，生长在溪谷的背阴处，出自襄州。八月、九月采集根部，日晒干燥。古方治疗大风湿痹等病症，用赤车使者酒来主治。现在人很少使用，也很少有人认识它。因此附记在这里。
刘寄奴草，生长在江南地区，如今河中府、孟州、汉中也有生长。春天长出苗茎，茎形似艾蒿，上面有四条棱，高三尺到二尺左右；叶子青色似柳叶；四月开出细碎的小黄白花，形状像瓦松；七月结出果实像黍米但更细小，一根茎上有数个穗状物互生；根部淡紫色似莴苣。六月、七月采集。苗、花、子均可通用。
牵牛子，旧籍未注明出产的州郡土地，如今到处都有生长。二月播种种子，三月长出苗茎，化作藤蔓缠绕篱笆墙壁，高的可达两三丈；叶子青色，有三个尖角；七月开花，微红带碧色，比鼓子花大；八月结果实，外层有白皮，内部呈球状。每个球内有四、五枚种子，大小如荞麦，有三棱，分为黑白两种。九月之后采收。又名金铃。段成式《酉阳杂俎》中说：盆甑草，就是牵牛子。秋节后折断它，形状像盆甑。其中的种子像龟，藤蔓像山药，指的就是这个。
Chi Di Li (Red Groundcover), old texts do not record the specific provinces or regions of origin, stating that it grows in valleys and mountains everywhere, but currently only Huashan produces it. In spring and summer, seedlings emerge, growing as vines winding around trees and shrubs; the stems are red; the leaves are green, resembling those of buckwheat; white flowers bloom in July, also similar to buckwheat flowers; the roots resemble Smilax glabra (Ba Qian), with black skin and yellowish-red flesh; roots are harvested within August and dried for use. It is also known as Shan Qiao Mai (Mountain Buckwheat). Below this entry, there is another section on Chi Che Shi Zhe (Achyranthes bidentata) which states: It resembles Xiang Ru (Elsholtzia splendens) and Lan Xiang (Pogostemon cablin), with red leaves and stems, and purplish-red roots, growing in the shade of stream valleys, originating from Xiangzhou. Roots are harvested in August and September and sun-dried. Ancient prescriptions treat severe wind-damp bi-syndrome using wine prepared with Chi Che Shi Zhe. It is rarely used by people today, and few recognize it. Therefore, it is appended here.
Chi Che Shi Zhe, textual content is listed under the Chi Di Li entry.
Liu Ji Nu Cao (Artemisia annua var. annua or related species), grows in the Jiangnan region; currently also found in Hezhong Prefecture, Mengzhou, and Hanzhong. Seedlings emerge in spring; the stems resemble Ai Hao (Mugwort), having four edges, reaching a height of two to three chi; leaves are green and willow-like; small yellow-white flowers bloom in April, shaped like Sedum aizoon (Wa Song); fruits form in July, resembling millet but finer, with several spikelets growing alternately on one stem; roots are pale purple, resembling Lactuca sativa (Wojú). Harvested in June and July. The seedlings, flowers, and seeds are all commonly used.
Qian Niu Zi (Pharbitis nil seed / Ipomoea batatas seed - *Note: Context implies Pharbitis nil/Convolvulus arvensis type*), old texts do not specify the province or land of origin; it is now found everywhere. Seeds are sown in February; seedlings emerge in March, growing as vines winding around fences and walls, reaching heights of two to three zhang; leaves are green with three pointed angles; flowers appear in July, slightly red with a greenish tint, larger than Drum-flower (Calystegia hederacea); fruits form in August, covered by a white outer skin forming a ball shape. Each ball contains four or five seeds, the size of buckwheat, with three edges, available in black and white varieties. Harvested after September. Also known as Jin Ling. Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Zazu" states: Pen Zeng Cao (Basin Steamer Grass) is Qian Niu Zi. After the Autumn Festival, when broken, its shape resembles a basin steamer. The seeds inside resemble turtles, and the vines resemble sweet potatoes, referring to this plant.
