从新说：这种植物产于江浙地区，叶子像萆薢（一种祛风湿药），高三四尺，根茎像何首乌但没有棱角，内部呈白色且无纹理，略微类似菝葜（一种祛风湿药）但味道不苦。其性味平和，能祛除风湿，常与苍术、当归配伍使用，治疗手足瘫痪、筋骨疼痛。
李氏草秘记载：这种草的叶子形状像指甲，生长在墙脚、台阶边缘的石缝间。
王安采药方记载：这种草攀附在松树上生长，别名佛指甲，别名寄生。用于治疗各种疖肿毒疮、火丹（一种皮肤红肿热痛的疾病），若头面部肿胀严重、病情危急时，加入少量皮消（芒硝的一种精制品）捣碎后外敷，立刻痊愈。（出自《李氏草秘》。）治疗牙痛，将药物研成末擦患处，立刻见效。（出自《王安采药方》。）
荔枝草附注：又名土犀角，又名过冬青。生长在田埂之间，叶子像天名精（一种清热解毒药）但较小，贴地生长，没有枝梗，叶面有细小的白毛，四季不凋谢，下雪天开小白花。另外，荔枝草也名叫雪里青。《百草镜》记载：下雪天开小白花的，是过冬青。三月开始长茎，花白色成穗状，像夏枯草但有毛的，名叫雪里青。
其味苦，性大寒，能泻热，治疗咽喉急闭（急性咽喉阻塞），捣汁灌服，效果很好。
王氏验方记载：能通行上焦（人体上部），治疗肿痛，疏散风火结滞。咳血：用雪里青根，与精猪肉切片层层隔开，用白酒淡煮至烂熟，食用。肺痿（肺部萎弱不振的病证），将雪里青捣汁，加蜂蜜调和均匀，分两次服用，每天服用五到七次，七天完全痊愈。齿痛，将雪里青捣汁含漱痛处，再用酒和着少许吞服。痔疮：用雪里青煎汤清洗患处。吹喉（治疗咽喉疾病的给药方法），薄荷一两，雪里青五钱，加冰片三分研成细末，吹入咽喉，或吹入鼻孔，也可以。肺痈（肺部化脓性感染）。集效方记载：将雪里青捣汁，冲酒服用，立刻见效。黄雨岩说：对于危重的肺痈、肺痿病症，首先应使用雪里青捣汁服用，如果能吐出脓血尤其妙。治疗单蛾、双蛾（扁桃体炎）：用木莲蓬、雪里青根叶，捣汁，用米醋煮沸后，冲入前面的药汁中，含漱少许，吐出后即愈。
From Xin's account: This plant is produced in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Its leaves resemble those of *Bixie* (Dioscorea hypoglauca), growing three to four chi high. The rhizome resembles *Shouwu* (Polygonum multiflorum) but lacks ridges; the interior is white without striations, slightly resembling *Baqia* (Smilax glabra) but without a bitter taste. It has a neutral flavor and cool nature, dispels wind-dampness, and when combined with *Cangzhu* (Atractylodis Rhizoma) and *Danggui* (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), treats paralysis of the limbs and pain in the sinews and bones.
Li's Grass Secret records: The leaves of this herb resemble fingernails and grow between stone masonry at the foot of walls or on steps.
Wang An's Herb Gathering Method records: This herb climbs pine trees. It is also known as Fo Zhijia (Buddha's Fingernail) and Jisheng (Parasite). It treats various boils, toxic sores, and huodan (erysipelas). In cases where the head and face are swollen and the condition is critical, adding a small amount of Pixiao (refined Natrii Sulfas) and applying it as a poultice brings immediate cure. (Source: Li's Grass Secret.) For toothache, grinding the herb into powder and applying it to the affected area yields immediate results. (Source: Wang An's Method.)
Supplement on Lizhi Cao: Also known as Tu Xijiao (Earth Rhinoceros Horn) and Guo Dong Qing (Winter-Overing Green). It grows among field ridges. The leaves resemble those of *Tianmingjing* (Plantago asiatica) but are smaller, spreading along the ground without stems or branches. The leaves have fine white hairs, remain evergreen throughout the year, and produce small white flowers during snowy days. Additionally, Lizhi Cao is also named Xueliqing (Snow-in-Green). Baicao Jing states: The variety that blooms with small white flowers in snow is Guo Dong Qing. It sends up stems in March, bearing white flower spikes like *Xiakucao* (Prunella vulgaris) but hairy; this variety is named Xueliqing.
It tastes bitter and is extremely cold in nature. It clears heat and treats acute throat closure (acute pharyngeal obstruction); administering its juice by force-feeding yields significant effects.
Wang Shi's Verified Formula states: It can circulate through the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner), treating swelling and pain, and dissipating stagnation caused by wind-fire. Hemoptysis: Use the root of Xueliqing, layering it with slices of lean pork, simmering lightly in white wine until soft, and consuming it. Fei Wei (Lung Atrophy): Juice extracted from Xueliqing, mixed evenly with honey, taken in two doses daily, five to seven times per day, leads to complete recovery within seven days. Toothache: Hold the juice of crushed Xueliqing in the painful area, then swallow a small amount mixed with wine. Hemorrhoids: Wash the affected area with a decoction of Xueliqing. Throat insufflation: Mix one liang of Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), five qian of Xueliqing, and three fen of Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum) into powder. Insufflate into the throat or nostrils. Lung Abscess: Ji Xiao Fang (Collection of Effective Formulas) states: Administer the juice of crushed Xueliqing mixed with wine for immediate effect. Huang Yuyan states: For critical cases of lung abscess and lung atrophy, the first choice is to administer the juice of Xueliqing; inducing vomiting of pus is particularly excellent. Treatment for single or double e-mei (tonsillitis): Crush the pods of Muluan (Ficus pumila inflorescence) and the roots/leaves of Xueliqing to extract juice. Boil rice vinegar, then mix it with the extracted juice. Swish a small amount in the mouth and spit out; recovery follows immediately.
