产于云南东川府巧家汛江边的菊花参，叶片形状像菊花。
其功效与人参相同，但药力稍弱。
《百草镜》记载：漳州、泉州的商船从红毛国（指荷兰或英国等西方国家）带来，外形完全不像人参，茎干细长且粗壮，长的有三四尺，颜色紫黑，粗的如同拇指，折断后中间有白色点状痕迹，带有花纹，与建人参相似。
治疗腹泻和痢疾效果神奇。
产于陕西西安等地，形状像人参，表皮和内部都呈青黑色，因此得名。施柳南太守说：这种参产自陕西华山，食用后容易引发呕吐。
法落梅附注
《药性考》记载：福参产于福建、浙江，颇似人参，但性味辛热，适合虚寒病症。歌诀云：“又有福参，味道辛苦甘齐备，性温能益气，虚冷体质的人适宜服用。”注释：福参多吃会导致喉咙痛，所以知道它性热。乙未年，我在剡川馆舍居住，那里属于故鄞县。听说有售卖建人参的，前往寻找并买到。样子就像台参中油熟的一种大者，只是不能纯粹通透，也有芦头，但没有竹节纹，味道也是苦甘。用竹刀剖开，中心是空的，不像辽参那样坚实。刘赞之从福建回来，说福建近期很流行这种参，也是清补之品。我哥哥患风火牙疼，用煎好的汤漱口立刻痊愈。这说明它的性质又带有寒凉发散的特点，有人说它性热，还不完全确切。金御乘说：建人参性热，唯独不适合产妇，它与辽参在形色气味上非常相似，但辽参入口回味生津，而此参回味消涩，所以功效也不同。河南出产的光山参、嵩山参，看起来与辽宁产的没有区别，只是咀嚼后有渣滓，不糯，味道也淡。
《金沙江志》记载：产于云南东川府法戛地。己酉年，友人王鼎条患心腹痛，有客人从云南带此物来，称为法落梅。使用根部，形状很像上党参，颜色也是黄白，味道甘苦，服用后疾病痊愈。据当地人所说，他们都叫它法落梅，但不知道其他书籍为什么写作“梅”字？蔡云白说：建人参在福建被称为法落梅。
治疗心痛效果神奇。
*Juhua Shen* (Chrysanthemum Ginseng) is produced in the Qiaojia Xun riverside of Dongchuan Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Its leaves resemble those of chrysanthemum (*Chrysanthemi Flos*).
Its efficacy is similar to *Renshen* (Ginseng Root), but its potency is slightly inferior.
*Bai Cao Jing* (Mirror of Hundred Herbs) records: Brought by merchant ships from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou from "Hongmao" (referring to Western countries like the Netherlands or Britain), it bears no resemblance to *Renshen*. The stem is long and thick; the longer ones are three to four chi in length, with a purple-black color. The thicker ones are as large as a thumb. When broken, there are white dotted marks inside, along with patterned textures, resembling *Jianshen* (Fujian Ginseng).
It is miraculous in treating diarrhea and dysentery.
Produced in Xi'an and other places in Shaanxi Province, it resembles *Renshen* in shape, with both skin and core being greenish-black, hence the name. Governor Shi Liunan stated: This ginseng comes from Mount Hua in Shaanxi; consuming it often induces vomiting.
Appendix on *Faluo Mei*
*Yaoxing Kao* (Study of Drug Properties) records: *Fushen* (Fujian Ginseng) is produced in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. It closely resembles *Renshen*, but its nature and flavor are pungent and hot, making it suitable for deficiency-cold conditions. A rhyme states: "There is also *Fushen*, with pungent, bitter, and sweet flavors; its warm nature tonifies Qi, suitable for those with deficiency-cold constitutions." Note: Excessive consumption of *Fushen* causes sore throat, indicating its hot nature. In the year Yiwei, I resided at the Shanchuan guesthouse, which belonged to the former Yin County. Hearing that *Jianshen* was sold there, I went to find it. It looked exactly like the larger, oil-ripe variety of Taishen, except it was not purely translucent. It had rhizomes (lu tou) but lacked bamboo-joint striations, and its taste was bitter and sweet. When sliced with a bamboo knife, the center was hollow, unlike the solid texture of Liaoshen (Liaoning Ginseng). Liu Zanzhi returned from Fujian, stating that this herb was recently very popular in Fujian and also served as a mild tonic. My brother suffered from wind-fire toothache; rinsing his mouth with the decoction led to immediate relief. This suggests its nature also possesses cold-dispersing properties. Those who claim it is hot may be inaccurate. Jin Yucheng said: *Jianshen* is hot in nature and particularly unsuitable for postpartum women. Although it is truly similar to Liaoshen in appearance, color, and odor, Liaoshen produces saliva upon tasting, whereas this one has astringent aftertaste, thus their efficacies differ significantly. Guangshan Shen and Songshan Shen produced in Henan look identical to those from Liaoning, but when chewed, they leave residue, are not glutinous, and have a bland taste.
*Jinsha Jiang Zhi* (Chronicle of the Golden Sand River) records: Produced in the Fa Jia area of Dongchuan Prefecture, Yunnan. In the year Jiyu, my friend Wang Dingtiao suffered from heart and abdominal pain. A guest brought this substance from Yunnan, calling it *Faluo Mei*. Using the root, its shape resembled Shangdang Shen (Shangdong Ginseng), with a yellowish-white color and a sweet-bitter taste. After taking it, the illness healed. Locals all call it *Faluo Mei*, but it is unclear why other texts write the character "Mei". Cai Yunbai stated: In Fujian, *Jianshen* is called *Faluo Mei*.
It is miraculous in treating heart pain.
