玉接骨，又名血见愁、玉钱草、麒麟草、玉连环。其叶小而圆，根部形似水芹。生长于潮湿阴凉之处，立夏时节发芽，每逢茎节处便变粗，叶片尖长，根系蔓延，颜色洁白且多有粗节，类似竹根。捣碎后汁液粘稠，植株高约一尺左右，种植于疏松土壤中极易繁衍。入药使用根部。《百草镜》记载：名为玉盘龙，又名无骨苎麻。叶片类似苎麻但较薄小，背面不呈白色，茎秆如筷子般粗细，色泽明透，到了九月，茎秆白亮如水晶，上面有细小红点。十月枯萎，采收适宜在九月。又名玉梗半枝莲。捣碎后有稠滑的白色浆液。《本草纲目·蒴藋》条目的释名中记载：这就是接骨草。苏恭说：叶子像芹菜。寇宗奭说：花白色，果实青色，到了十月，果实才红熟，每果有一二百粒种子。李时珍说：每枝五片叶子。按：《群芳谱》记载：则花朵白色而叶子不像（前述描述），其根部倒像是水芹。现在人们捣取汁液，用于接续筋骨骨折，颇为灵验。名为玉接骨。应当就是这种植物，然而《本草纲目》中没有一句话提到治疗折伤，且所引用的形态描述大多含糊不清，因此特意详细补充说明。
药性凉，味甘淡，归肺经血分，治疗吐血、肠道出血、便血，以及跌打损伤。《采药志》记载：接骨草，又名玉梗金苗，形状如竹节，出产于广西。粤语地区称此草丛生，高二三尺，叶片大如柳叶且浓密，茎有节，颜色绿而圆，花白色，中午开放，从三月到九月不断开花。《群芳谱》记载：四季花，又名接骨草。叶子细小，花朵小且色白，从三月开到九月，中午开花子落，枝叶捣汁可治跌打损伤，九月内剖开根部进行分株种植。《肇庆志》记载：接骨草出产于封川阳江，又名四季花，生长在园林中，茎绿而圆，叶长如手指且尖，花白色，跌伤导致骨节断裂，捣烂敷上，可以接骨。但本草书籍未收录（李氏《草秘》记载：羊耳草又名接骨草，生长在墙崖上，叶子像羊耳朵，专门治疗接骨）。
Jiegu Cao (Boneset Herb, *Euphorbia lathyris* or related species) [Also known as Mayi Jiegu, Zijiegu] Appendix: Also called Yu Jiegu.
Yu Jiegu, also known as Xuejianchou, Yuqiancao, Qilincao, Yulianhuan. Its leaves are small and round, and the root resembles that of water celery (*Oenanthe javanica*). It grows in damp and shady places, sprouting at the Start of Summer (*Lixia*). The stem thickens at each node, the leaves are pointed and long, the roots spread out, are white in color with many coarse nodes, resembling bamboo rhizomes. When crushed, the juice is sticky. The plant is about one chi tall; when planted in loose soil, it propagates very easily. The root is used for medicinal purposes. *Baicao Jing* records: Named Yupanlong, also known as Wugu Zhuma. The leaves resemble ramie but are thinner and smaller, with a non-white underside. The stems are like chopsticks in thickness, transparent and bright. By September, the stems become white and crystal-clear, with fine red spots on them. They wither in October; harvesting is suitable in September. Also known as Yugeng Banzhilian. When crushed, it yields a thick, smooth white pulp. The "Explanation of Names" section under the *Shu Ke* entry in *Bencao Gangmu* states: This is Jiegu Cao. Su Gong said: The leaves resemble celery. Kou Zongshi said: The flowers are white, the fruits are green; by October, the fruits turn red and ripe, containing one to two hundred seeds per fruit. Li Shizhen said: Each branch has five leaves. Note: According to *Qunfang Pu*, the flowers are white but the leaves do not match the previous description, while the root does resemble water celery. Nowadays, people crush it to extract juice for healing bone fractures and soft tissue injuries, which is quite effective. It is named Yu Jiegu. It is likely this species, yet *Bencao Gangmu* contains no mention of treating fractures, and the cited morphological descriptions are mostly vague. Therefore, a detailed supplement is provided here.
The nature is cool, the taste is sweet and bland. It enters the Lung Meridian and the Blood level. It treats hematemesis (vomiting blood), intestinal bleeding (hematochezia), lower gastrointestinal bleeding, and traumatic injuries from falls and blows. *Caizao Zhi* records: Jiegu Cao, also known as Yugeng Jinmiao, shaped like bamboo nodes, produced in Guangxi. In Cantonese, this grass grows in clumps, two to three chi high, with large, dense leaves like willow leaves. The stems have nodes, are green and round, with white flowers that open at noon, blooming continuously from March to September. *Qunfang Pu* records: Sijihua (Four-Season Flower), also known as Jiegu Cao. The leaves are slender, the flowers are small and white, blooming from March to September, opening at noon and dropping seeds. Crushed leaves and stems yield juice treatable for traumatic injuries. In September, roots can be split for propagation. *Zhaoqing Zhi* records: Jiegu Cao is produced in Fengchuan Yangjiang, also known as Sijihua, growing in gardens. The stems are green and round, the leaves are finger-length and pointed, the flowers are white. For fractured joints due to trauma, applying crushed paste can reconnect the bones. However, it is not recorded in herbal classics (Li's *Caomi* records: Yang'ercao, also known as Jiegu Cao, grows on walls and cliffs, leaves resemble sheep ears, specifically used for bone setting).
The nature is neutral. It treats fractures, reconnects broken bones, and heals upon application of crushed paste.
