又名紫罗球。秋季开花，花朵呈紫色圆晕状，生长在高山岩石上。立夏之后生出苗叶，叶片形状类似龙芽草但略小，对生排列，植株高度不超过一尺，根部茎干劲挺细长，类似于六月雪。谢云溪说：西湖凤凰山有这种植物，生长在石岸旁边的可以入药，生长在地土上的过于肥嫩，治疗病症不能立即见效。其叶片如同椐木般对生，茎秆方形且呈紫色，高约一尺多，开出细小的紫色花朵聚集成球状，具有活血疏风、消瘀散肿的功效。
味道淡，性质平和，主治各种跌打损伤、血瘀不散之症，捣烂取汁服用。或者用水和酒共同煎煮。如果是风寒闭塞引起的病症，或者痈疽初起……（此处原文中断）
这就是烧人场上长的草，程云来在《即得方》中记载：名为五叶草，也没有记载其形状。
能够移动痘疮后遗症的眼翳：用这种草捣成如豆子大小的小饼，如果左眼有翳膜，贴在右眼角肉上，翳膜就会移动到右眼；再用这个饼贴在左眼角肉上，翳膜就会移动到鼻梁内部，此时去掉这个饼，翳膜便会消除。
《诸罗志》记载：形状像菠菜，开小白花。按语：《本草纲目》中有蛇眼草，生长在古井及年代久远的阴湿地，形状像淡竹叶，叶背有红圈，像蛇眼的样子。捣碎外敷治疗蛇咬伤。不知道是不是同一种东西，附记在此以等待考证。治疗蛇咬伤，连根捣碎敷在伤口上，同时煎汤泡酒服用，立刻痊愈。
汪连仕《采药书》记载：蛇眼草产于乡间芦苇丛和水泽旁边非常多，主治各种蛇伤、疔疮、痔疮。俗称“蛇口”、“半枝莲”，又名“落得咬”。
朱排山《柑园小识》记载：千年健产自交趾，近年产于广西各上等郡县。形状像藤蔓，长达数尺，气味极其香烈，可以泡入药酒，风气痛患者及老年人最适合食用此药。忌食莱菔（萝卜）。
Also known as *Ziluoqiu* (Purple Robe Ball). It flowers in autumn, with purple circular halos on the blooms, growing on rocks in high mountains. Seedlings emerge after the Start of Summer (*Lixia*). The leaves are similar to those of *Longyacao* (Euphorbia hypericifolia) but slightly smaller, arranged oppositely along the stem. The plant height does not exceed one chi, with a tough and slender root and stem, resembling *Liuyuexue* (Androsace umbellata). Xie Yunxi stated: This plant is found at Phoenix Mountain in West Lake; specimens growing beside rocky banks are suitable for medicinal use, whereas those growing in soil are too fleshy and their therapeutic effects are not immediate. The leaves are opposite like those of *Jumu*, with square purple stems, growing over one chi tall, producing small purple flowers clustered into balls. It has the functions of invigorating blood, dispersing wind, resolving stasis, and dissipating swelling.
Its taste is bland, and its nature is neutral. It treats all kinds of traumatic injuries, bruises, and unresolved blood stasis. It can be taken as juice after crushing, or decocted with water and wine. For conditions caused by wind-cold obstruction, or early-stage carbuncles and sores... [Text cuts off here]
This is the grass that grows on funeral pyre sites. Cheng Yunlai, in his *Jide Fang* (Immediate Formula), records it under the name *Wuyecao* (Five-Leaf Grass), without describing its morphology.
It can displace corneal opacities resulting from smallpox: Crush this herb into a small cake the size of a bean. If there is an opacity in the left eye, apply it to the inner corner of the right eye; the opacity will shift to the right eye. Then apply the same cake to the inner corner of the left eye; the opacity will shift to the bridge of the nose. Remove the cake, and the membrane will clear.
*Zhuluo Zhi* records: It resembles spinach and bears small white flowers. Note: *Bencao Gangmu* mentions *Shanyanc Cao* (Snake Eye Grass), which grows in ancient wells and damp, shady places for many years. Its shape resembles *Danzhuye* (Lophatherum gracile), with red rings on the back of the leaves resembling snake eyes. Crushed and applied externally, it treats snakebites. It is unknown if this is the same substance; it is recorded here for further verification. To treat snakebites, crush the whole plant including roots and apply to the wound, while simultaneously decocting and drinking with wine for immediate cure.
Wang Lianshi's *Caoyao Shu* (Book of Herb Collection) records: *Shanyan Cao* is abundant in rural reed thickets and near water marshes. It treats all kinds of snakebites, carbuncles, hemorrhoids. Commonly called *Shekou* (Snake Mouth), *Ban Zhilian* (Half Branch Lotus), also known as *Luodeyao* (Fall and Bite).
Zhu Paishan's *Ganyuan Xiaoshi* (Small Records from the Citrus Garden) states: *Qiannianjian* (Thousand Year Strength) originates from Cochinchina and is now produced in various upper prefectures of Guangxi. It resembles vines, several chi long, with an extremely fragrant and potent aroma. It can be infused in medicinal wine and is most suitable for elderly people suffering from wind-dampness pain. Radish (*Laifu*) should be avoided.
To strengthen sinews and bones, infuse in wine. It can be combined with *Zuandifeng* (Trachelospermum jasminoides root), tiger bone, *Niuxi* (Achyranthes bidentata), sweet goji berries, two batches of silkworm feces, and *Bixie* (Dioscorea hypoglauca rhizome) to formulate a treatment for wind-dampness. It also stops stomachache; take by grinding with wine.
