《山川典》记载：产于峨眉山，是生长在树上的苔藓须蔓牵引而成。长度有几尺，有人说深谷中有长达一丈的，《湖湘故事》中记载的“罗汗绦”，就是这种植物。唐代鸳湖说：普贤线产于峨眉山，是普贤石上的青苔。山中的僧人采集后晒干，将其作为上等药物。
《益都方物记》记载：仙人绦生长在大山中，与苔藓同种，但在岩石背阴处和石角旁长得更加鲜翠，长二三尺，丛生下垂像丝带一样。
赵学敏按语：《酉阳杂俎》记载：仙人绦出自衡山，没有根蒂，生长在石头上，形状像同心带，三股，颜色绿，也不常有。绦即丝带。这种生长在石头上的才入药，毫无疑问。
土红花附注：
产于西藏，形状像菊花。干燥后可以治疗各种痞证。试验真伪的方法：将一朵放入滚水中，颜色像血一样红，再次放入依然显色，能冲泡四次的为真品。《本草纲目》中有番红花，大蓟被称为野红花，都与土红花不同。
治疗各种痞结：每次服用一朵，用汤冲服，忌食油腻荤腥和盐，宜吃清淡的粥。
治疗吐血：王士瑶说：不论虚实何经所吐之血，只需使用藏红花。取无灰酒一杯，花一朵，放入酒内，隔水炖出汁液服用，入口后血即停止，多次试验都有效。
《福建续志》记载：土红花大的高七八尺，叶子像枇杷叶但较小，无毛，秋天开白花如粟米粒。生于福州及南恩州的，福州产的做成细藤，类似芙蓉花，上青下白，根像葛头。入药时薄切，用米泔水浸泡一夜，再用清水浸泡一段时间。
《赋统会》记载：产于拂菻国。《华夷花木考》记载：阿勃参出自拂菻国，长一丈多，皮色青白，叶子细小，两两相对，花像芜菁，正黄色。果实像胡椒，红色，砍伐其树枝，流出的汁液像油，这种油极其珍贵，价值千金。用油涂抹疥癣即可痊愈。
*Shanchuan Dian* records: It is produced in Mount Emei, formed by mossy tendrils growing on trees. Its length is several chi; some say there are specimens over one zhang long in deep valleys. *Huxiang Gushi* mentions "Luohan Tao" (Buddhist Monk's Ribbon), which refers to this plant. Yuanhu of the Tang Dynasty stated: Puxian Xian is produced in Mount Emei and is green moss on Puxian Stone. Monks collect and sun-dry it to use as a superior medicinal herb.
*Yidu Fangwu Ji* records: Xianren Tao (Immortal's Ribbon) grows in large mountains, sharing the same origin as moss, but appears fresher and greener in rocky shadows and crevices. It is two to three chi long, hanging in clusters like ribbons.
Zhao Xuemin notes: *Youyang Zazu* states that Xianren Tao originates from Mount Heng, has no roots or stems, grows on stones, resembles a concentric belt, consists of three strands, is green in color, and is not commonly found. "Tao" refers to ribbon. Only those growing on stones are used medicinally, without doubt.
It treats epigastric pain caused by Heart Qi stagnation; when decocted and taken orally, it is effective even for patients near death.
**Tu Honghua (Earth Red Flower) [Supplement]:**
Produced in Tibet, resembling chrysanthemum flowers. When dried, it can treat various types of Pi syndrome (abdominal masses/blockages). The method to test authenticity: place one flower in boiling water; if the color turns blood-red and retains color upon re-infusion, capable of being steeped four times, it is genuine. *Bencao Gangmu* mentions Fan Honghua (Saffron), and Da Ji is called Ye Honghua (Wild Red Flower); both differ from Tu Honghua.
To treat various Pi syndromes: Take one flower per dose, dissolve in soup, avoid oily, meaty, and salty foods, and prefer light congee.
To treat hematemesis (vomiting blood): Wang Shiyao said: Regardless of whether the bleeding is due to deficiency or excess, or from any meridian, only Tibetan Safflower should be used. Take one cup of wine free of ash impurities and one flower, place them in the wine, steam over hot water to extract the juice, and drink. The bleeding stops immediately upon ingestion; repeated trials have proven effective.
*Fujian Xuzhi* records: Large Tu Honghua plants are seven to eight chi high, with leaves similar to loquat leaves but smaller and hairless. They produce white flowers like millet grains in autumn. Those grown in Fuzhou and Nan'en Prefecture vary; specimens from Fuzhou form thin vines resembling hibiscus, green on top and white underneath, with roots resembling kudzu tubers. For medicinal use, slice thinly, soak in rice washing water overnight, then soak again in clear water for a period.
*Fu Tonghui* records: Produced in Fulin Country (Byzantine Empire/Rome). *Huayi Huamu Kao* states: Aboren (Abroch/Resin) comes from Fulin Country, growing over one zhang long, with greenish-white bark, small leaves arranged oppositely, yellow flowers resembling turnip blossoms, and red fruits resembling peppercorns. When branches are cut, the exuded sap resembles oil; this oil is extremely precious, worth a thousand gold pieces. Applying the oil cures scabies and tinea.
