南方地区的见闻记载：衡山一带有这种植物，它是由冰雹和雪霰凝结而成，经过多年积累蒸腾而形成的。生长在背阴的悬崖绝壁之间，晶莹剔透如同玉石，需要悬挂在陡峭处采摘。
能够治疗肺部疾病，具有降火清心的功效。
朱楚良在镇海时，当地人有采集“雪里花”（即雪里开）的习俗。冬季严寒之时，这种花才开始生长，位于招宝山龙潭旁边，环绕水洲绽放，植株非常短小，形态如同六月雪，高度不超过两寸左右，每次下雪时开出如豆子大小的白花。当地人采集后，晒干入药。
将雪里花研成粉末，痔疮渗液湿润者直接干掺药粉，干燥者用麻油调和涂抹，使用一到两次，痔疮即可消退缩小。（此内容与卷四草部“雪里开”附带的“雪里花”内容雷同）
珠兰能够祛除风邪，润泽肌肤，滋润毛发，治疗五心烦热、胃中嘈杂不安，可与荷叶、芍药一同研末服用。
广东地方志记载：珠兰又名报喜兰，属于风兰一类，并非兰花中的风兰。花朵像腊梅但颜色为红紫色，香味也相同，每根茎分出七八个枝条，悬挂在树间，不接触地面湿气，遇到喜庆之事就会开花，孕妇将花悬挂在门上方即可顺利分娩。关涵在《岭南随笔》中记载，报喜兰遇到吉事才开放，种植方法是以空气为根，以露水为命，与风兰相同。
主要功效是催生。
《药性考》记载：珍珠兰味辛，经窨制后茶香浓郁，其根部有毒，可以研磨后外敷治疗痈疽疖肿，现在称为鸡爪兰。《花经》记载：真珠兰又名鱼子兰，枝叶类似茉莉花，发出长长的细蕊，与建兰同时开放，香味也相似，但更加浓郁，喜好清雅的人取其花蕊焙茶尤为美妙。但因其性毒，只能取其香气，所以不入药方。张篁壬说：中条山有一位老道士，教人治疗狐魅作祟，有一名女子被雄狐缠身，道士教她用珠兰根捣烂放在床头，等到狐狸来交配时，涂在其生殖器上，狐狸大声嚎叫逃跑，第二天在野外发现一只死狐狸，道士说：这种根沾到狐肉就会致死，性能毒杀狐狸，尤其见效快。
Records from the South: It is found in the Hengshan area, formed by the condensation of ice pellets and sleet, accumulating over many years. It grows on shady cliffs and precipices, crystal clear like jade, requiring collection while hanging from steep heights.
It treats lung diseases, reducing fire and clearing the heart.
When Zhu Chuliang was in Zhenhai, locals had the custom of harvesting "Snow-in-Flower" (Xueli Hua). In the severe cold of winter, this flower begins to grow near the Dragon Pool at Zhaobao Mountain, blooming around the islet. The seedlings are very short, resembling *Serissa japonica* ('June Snow'), not exceeding two inches in height, producing white flowers the size of beans each time snow falls. Locals collect them, dry them, and use them as medicine.
Powdered Xueli Hua is applied: for moist hemorrhoids, dry powder is sprinkled; for dry ones, it is mixed with sesame oil and applied. After one or two applications, the hemorrhoids subside and shrink. (This content overlaps with that of "Xueli Kai" and its appendix "Xueli Hua" in Volume 4, Herb Section.)
Zhu Lan can dispel wind, nourish the skin and muscles, and moisturize hair. It treats heat sensation in the five centers (palms, soles, and chest) and gastric discomfort/irritability. It can be taken as a powder combined with Lotus Leaf (*He Ye*) and Peony Root (*Shaoyao*).
Guangdong Local Records state: Also known as Joy-Announcing Orchid, it belongs to the category of Wind Orchids, not true orchids. The flowers resemble Wintersweet but are red-purple in color, with a similar fragrance. Each stem branches into seven or eight tips, hanging among trees without touching the ground air. It blooms upon auspicious events; pregnant women who hang the flower above their door will give birth easily. Guan Han's *Notes on Lingnan* records that the Joy-Announcing Orchid blooms only when auspicious events occur. Its cultivation method uses air as roots and dew as life, similar to Wind Orchids.
Its primary function is to facilitate childbirth.
*Yaoxing Kao* (Evaluation of Medicinal Properties): Pearl Orchid tastes pungent; after being scented with tea, its aroma is rich. Its root is toxic and can be ground for external application to treat carbuncles and furuncles; it is now called Chicken Claw Orchid. *Hua Jing* (Classic of Flowers) states: True Pearl Orchid is also known as Fish Roe Orchid. Its leaves and branches resemble Jasmine, producing long, thin stamens. It blooms simultaneously with Jianlan Orchid, with a similar but more intense fragrance. Those who prefer purity find it excellent to roast tea with its stamens. However, due to its toxicity, only its fragrance is utilized, so it is not included in medicinal prescriptions. Zhang Huangren stated: An old Daoist priest in Zhongtiao Mountain taught people how to treat fox spirits. A woman was possessed by a male fox. The priest instructed her to crush Pearl Orchid roots and place them by the bedhead. When the fox came to mate, she applied the paste to its genitalia. The fox screamed loudly and fled. The next day, a dead fox was found in the wild. The priest said, "This root kills foxes upon contact with their flesh; its toxicity against foxes is particularly effective."
