(宋《嘉 》)
【校正】自菜部移入此。并入有名未用《别录》吴葵华。
【释名】戎葵(《尔雅》)、吴葵。
藏器曰∶《尔雅》云∶ (音坚),戎葵也。郭璞注云∶今蜀葵也。叶似葵,花如木槿花。
戎蜀其所自来,因以名之。
时珍曰∶罗愿《尔雅翼》∶吴葵作胡葵,云胡,戎也。《夏小正》云∶四月小满后五
日,吴葵华,《别录》吴葵,即此也。而唐人不知,退入有名未用。《嘉 本草》重于菜部出
蜀葵条。盖未读《尔雅注》及《千金方》,吴葵一名蜀葵之文故也。今并为一。
【集解】颂曰∶蜀葵似葵,花如木槿花,有五色。小花者名锦葵,功用更强。
时珍曰∶蜀葵处处人家植之。春初种子,冬月宿根亦自生苗,嫩时亦可茹食。叶
似葵菜而大,亦似丝瓜叶,有岐叉。过小满后长茎,高五、六尺。花似木槿而大,有深红
浅红紫黑白色、单叶千叶之异。昔人谓其疏茎密叶、翠萼艳花、金粉檀心者,颇善
状之。惟红、白二色入药。其实大如指头,皮薄而扁,内仁如马兜铃仁及芜荑仁,轻虚易种。
其秸剥皮,可缉布作绳。一种小者名锦葵,即荆葵也。《尔雅》谓之 (音乔)。其
铢钱,粉红色,有紫缕纹。掌禹锡《补注本草》,谓此即戎葵,非矣。然功用亦相似。

(出自宋代《嘉祐本草》)
【校正】从蔬菜部移入此处。并入《名医别录》中“有名未用”类别的吴葵花。
【释名】戎葵(出自《尔雅》)、吴葵。
苏颂引唐代陈藏器说:《尔雅》记载:“(音坚),就是戎葵。”郭璞注释说:就是现在的蜀葵。叶子像葵菜,花朵像木槿花。
因为戎、蜀两地都有这种植物,所以以此命名。
李时珍说:罗愿在《尔雅翼》中指出:吴葵也就是胡葵,云“胡”即“戎”。《夏小正》记载:“四月小满后五日,吴葵开花。”《名医别录》中的吴葵,就是这种植物。但唐人不知道这一点,将其退入“有名未用”类别。《嘉祐本草》重视在蔬菜部列出蜀葵条目。大概是因为没有阅读《尔雅注》及《千金方》中关于“吴葵一名蜀葵”的文字的缘故。现在将两者合并为一类。
【集解】苏颂说:蜀葵类似葵菜,花朵像木槿花,有五种颜色。小花者名叫锦葵,药用功效更强。
李时珍说:蜀葵各地人家都种植。春初播种种子,冬季宿根也会自然生出幼苗,嫩时也可以食用。叶子像葵菜但更大,也像丝瓜叶,有分叉。过了小满后长出茎秆,高达五、六尺。花朵像木槿但更大,有深红、浅红、紫、黑、白等颜色,还有单瓣和重瓣的区别。古人说它茎疏叶密、翠绿的萼片艳丽的花朵、金黄的花蕊檀香色的花心,形容得很贴切。只有红色和白色两种入药。它的果实大如手指头,皮薄而扁,里面的仁像马兜铃仁和芜荑仁,轻虚容易种植。它的秸秆剥皮后,可以编织成布或绳子。一种较小的名叫锦葵,也就是荆葵。《尔雅》称之为(音乔)。其花如铢钱大小,粉红色,带有紫色纹路。掌禹锡在《补注本草》中说这就是戎葵,这是错误的。然而功效也相似。
苗
【气味】甘,微寒,滑,无毒。
孙思邈说:不可长期食用,会使人意志迟钝。如果被狗咬伤的人吃了它,伤口永远无法痊愈。
李廷飞说:与猪肉一起食用,人会面色无华。
【主治】清除客热,通利肠胃(孙思邈)。煮食,治疗丹石发作、热结(陈藏器)。作为蔬菜食用,滑窍治疗淋证,润燥利于分娩(李时珍)。捣烂涂抹火烫伤,烧成灰研末敷治金创(孟洗)。
根茎
【主治】客热,通利小便,消散脓血恶汁(陈藏器)。
【发明】寇宗奭说:蜀葵,四季取红色、单叶者的根,阴干,治疗带下病,排出脓血恶物。

小便血淋:葵花根二钱,车前子一钱,水煮,每日服用。(《简便单方》)
小便尿血:葵茎,用无灰酒送服一方寸匕,每日三次。(《千金方》)
肠胃生痈:怀忠丹:治疗内痈伴有败血,腥秽特别严重,脐腹冷痛,用此药排脓下血:单叶红蜀葵根、白芷各一两,白枯矾、白芍药各五钱。研为末,黄蜡熔化,调和制成梧桐子大小的丸剂,每次空腹米饮送下二十丸。待脓血排尽,服用十宣散以补益。(《坦仙皆效方》)
疼痛不可忍受:葵花根(去掉黑皮),捣烂,加入井华水调成稠状贴敷。(《普济方》)
小儿吻疮,经年欲腐烂:葵根烧成灰研末敷之。(《圣惠方》)
小儿口疮:赤色葵茎(炙干)研为末,蜂蜜调和含服。(《圣惠方》)

(Sourced from the Song Dynasty *Jiayou Bencao*)
[Correction] Moved here from the Vegetable Section. Also incorporated *Wu Kui Hua* (Wu Hollyhock Flower) from the "Named but Unused" category in *Mingyi Bielu*.
[Names] Rong Kui (from *Erya*), Wu Kui.
Chen Zangqi stated: *Erya* records: "(sound 'jian'), which is Rong Kui." Guo Pu's annotation states: It is the current Shu Kui (Hollyhock). The leaves resemble Abelmoschus manihot, and the flowers resemble Hibiscus mutabilis.
Because it grows in both Rong and Shu regions, it is named accordingly.
Li Shizhen said: Luo Yuan in *Erya Yi* pointed out: Wu Kui is also Hu Kui, stating that "Hu" means "Rong". *Xiaoxiaozheng* records: "Five days after Minor Fullness in the fourth month, Wu Kui blooms." The Wu Kui in *Mingyi Bielu* refers to this plant. However, Tang dynasty scholars were unaware of this and relegated it to the "Named but Unused" category. *Jiayou Bencao* emphasized listing Shu Kui in the Vegetable section. This was likely due to not reading the annotations of *Erya* or the text in *Qianjin Fang* stating "Wu Kui is also known as Shu Kui." Now they are combined into one entry.
[Collection and Explanation] Su Song said: Shu Kui resembles Abelmoschus manihot, with flowers like Hibiscus mutabilis, coming in five colors. The variety with small flowers is called Jin Kui (Cotton Rose Mallow), which has stronger medicinal efficacy.
Li Shizhen said: Shu Kui is planted by households everywhere. Seeds are sown in early spring; the overwintering roots naturally sprout new seedlings in winter, which can be eaten when tender. The leaves are larger than those of Abelmoschus manihot, resembling luffa leaves, with lobes. After Minor Fullness, stems grow tall, reaching five to six chi. The flowers are larger than Hibiscus mutabilis, appearing in deep red, light red, purple, black, and white, with variations between single-petaled and double-petaled forms. Ancients described it well as having sparse stems and dense leaves, green calyces, brilliant flowers, golden stamens, and sandalwood-colored centers. Only the red and white varieties are used medicinally. Its fruits are finger-sized, thin-skinned and flat, with seeds resembling those of Aristolochia debilis and Terminalia chebula, light and easy to sow. The stalks, when peeled, can be woven into cloth or rope. A smaller variety is called Jin Kui, also known as Jing Kui. *Erya* calls it "(sound 'qiao')". Its flowers are the size of a zhu coin, pink with purple veins. Zhang Yuxi in *Buzhu Bencao* claimed this is Rong Kui, which is incorrect. However, its efficacy is similar.
Seedling
[Flavor and Nature] Sweet, slightly cold, slippery, non-toxic.
Sun Simiao said: It should not be consumed for long periods, as it dulls mental acuity. If consumed by someone bitten by a dog, the wound will never heal.
Li Tingfei said: Consumed with pork, it causes loss of complexion.
[Therapeutic Actions] Clears pathogenic heat, promotes bowel movement (Sun Simiao). Boiled and eaten, treats Dan Shi fever and heat accumulation (Chen Zangqi). Eaten as a vegetable, lubricates orifices to treat strangury, moistens dryness to facilitate childbirth (Li Shizhen). Crushed and applied, treats burns; burned and powdered, applied to traumatic injuries (Meng Xi).
Root and Rhizome
[Therapeutic Actions] Clears pathogenic heat, promotes urination, disperses pus, blood, and foul discharge (Chen Zangqi).
[Innovation] Kou Zongshi said: For Shu Kui, take the root of the red, single-petaled variety in all four seasons, dry in shade, to treat leukorrhea and expel pus, blood, and foul matter.

[Innovation] Zhang Yuansu said: Shu Kui Hua is Yang within Yin. Red varieties treat red leukorrhea; white varieties treat white leukorrhea; red varieties treat blood dryness; white varieties treat qi dryness, all utilizing their cold, slippery, moistening, and purgative properties. Additionally, purple Shu Kui Hua is used in formulas for dyeing beard and hair.
