味苦，气平。无毒。虽然生长在河流湖泊沼泽地带，但主要产于益州。（属于四个州的范围。）一丛植株有数根茎，每根茎长三片叶子。叶片短小且多有缺刻，果实成串下垂，颜色黄，味道辛。
（类似葶苈子。）又说：有两种类型。水生的种类叶片有光泽、果实圆；陆生的种类叶片有毛、果实尖锐。入药时，以水生的为佳。二月和八月采集树皮，五月五日采收果实。以大戟为引经药，畏蛇蜕和吴茱萸。能调和胃气不和，治疗胃热引起的胀满；补益阴气不足，治疗阴茎寒冷、遗精。能驱散风寒湿邪引起的痹证，消除心腹部的邪气，通利关节，使皮肤润泽。长期服用可明目轻身，使人易于受孕生子。其陆生种类，又名天灸。取少量叶片揉搓后系在手臂上，一夜后会起大水泡，形状如火烫伤。善恶差别极大，不可不知道。
络石
味苦，气温，微寒。无毒。多生长在背阴的山崖峭壁上，到处都有。多缠绕包裹在石头上，或蔓延在树木上。茎节接触处即生根须。叶片圆形，越冬常青，花白色，结出的果实略黑。与薜荔、木莲、地锦、石血等属于同一类。人家亭台花园中的假山石旁，也常种植作为装饰。采集茎叶入药，选择附着在石头上的为好。畏贝母、菖蒲，以牡丹、杜仲为引经药。治疗喉闭不通、气息将绝，用水煎汤服下立即苏醒；治疗背部痈肿扩散，用蜂蜜调和汁液服用即见效。能坚固筋骨、强健腰足，通利关节、润泽容颜。去除风热引起的死肌，解除口舌干燥。治疗蛇毒引起的心胸闷痛，可以消散刀斧创伤。疮口可以封口，长期服用可轻身。通神明目，延年益寿。薜荔虽然与络石同类，但茎叶粗大如藤。治疗背痈时将叶子采收，煎酒饮用，病即痊愈。
木莲味苦，
煎汤，或浸泡酒中。初服可壮阳祛病，
久服可耐老延年。藤汁取出后，可用于敷治风毒。扫除白癜风疹，去除疥癣疮疡。果实生长大类莲房，一年成熟一次；果房劈开后内部有多量白色汁液，久而久之逐渐变黑凝固。破血效果很好，依时节采收。果实也可入药，并记载于《图经》。地锦味甘，叶片像鸭掌。藤蔓贴地生长，随节生根。也能攀援木石沿长，经常耐寒冻而不枯萎。煎汤或浸酒，可破血止痛。祛除产后血凝，驱逐腹中血瘕。又有一种石血，也以“血”来攻治。形状与络石相同，但叶片尖而半红。
Shilongru (Ranunculus japonicus)
Bitter in taste, neutral in qi. Non-toxic. Although it grows in rivers, lakes, and marshes, it is primarily produced in Yizhou (belonging to four prefectures). A clump has several stems, each stem bearing three leaves. The leaves are short and small with many notches; the fruits hang in clusters, yellow in color and pungent in taste.
(Similar to Tingli [Descurainiae Semen seu Lepidii Semen]). It is also said that there are two types: aquatic varieties have glossy leaves and round fruits, while terrestrial varieties have hairy leaves and sharp fruits. For medicinal use, the aquatic variety is preferred. Harvest the bark in February and August, and collect the fruits on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Use Daji (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix) as a guiding herb; it is incompatible with Shetui (Ophioglossi Corneum) and Wuzhuyu (Evodiae Fructus). It harmonizes disharmony of Stomach qi, treating fullness caused by Stomach heat; tonifies deficiency of Yin qi, treating cold penis and spermatorrhea. It expels wind-cold-dampness bi syndrome, eliminates pathogenic factors from the heart and abdomen, benefits the joints, and makes the skin lustrous. Long-term consumption brightens the eyes, lightens the body, and facilitates conception. The terrestrial variety is also known as Tianjiu (Natural Moxibustion). Taking a few leaves, rubbing them, and tying them to the arm will cause large blisters resembling burns overnight within one night. The difference between good and bad effects is significant, which must be known.
Luoshi (Clytostoma radicans / Trachelospermum jasminoides - *Note: Historical Luoshi often refers to Trachelospermum or related climbing plants*)
Bitter in taste, warm in qi, slightly cold. Non-toxic. It is found everywhere on steep cliffs in shady mountains. It often wraps around rocks or spreads over trees. Roots form at the nodes where the stem touches surfaces. The leaves are round, evergreen through winter, flowers are white, and the fruits are slightly black. It belongs to the same category as Bili (Fici Caricae Fructus), Mulian (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex - *contextual note: text says 'Mu Lian' likely referring to a vine like Magnolia or similar*, Dijin (Pilea nummulariifolia), and Xue (likely a local name for a blood-red plant). It is also commonly planted in pavilions and gardens among artificial rockeries for decoration. When harvesting stems and leaves for medicine, those attached to stones are considered superior. It is incompatible with Beimu (Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus) and Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma); use Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex) and Duzhong (Eucommiae Cortex) as guiding herbs. It treats throat obstruction (Houbi) so severe that breathing is nearly stopped; decocting in water and drinking the soup leads to immediate recovery. Treating back carbuncles (Bei Yong) spreading outward, mixing the juice with honey and taking it orally is effective. It strengthens bones and tendons, fortifies the waist and legs, benefits the joints, and nourishes the complexion. It dispels wind-heat causing dead flesh (Si Ji), resolves dryness of the mouth and tongue. It treats heart stuffiness caused by snake venom and can disperse knife/axe wounds. It can seal wound openings; long-term consumption lightens the body. It clears the mind, brightens the eyes, prolongs life, and delays aging. Bili (Fig Fruit), although similar to Luoshi, has stems and leaves thick and large like vines. For treating back carbuncles, harvest the leaves, decoct in wine, and drink; the illness will heal.
Mulian (Magnolia Vine/Climbing Magnolia)
Bitter in taste. Decoct in water or soak in wine. Initial consumption strengthens Yang and dispels disease; long-term consumption delays aging and prolongs life. The vine sap can be applied to treat wind toxicity. It clears vitiligo and rashes, removes scabies, tinea, and ulcers. The fruit resembles a lotus pod in size, ripening once a year; when split open, it contains abundant white sap that gradually turns black and solidifies over time. It is excellent for breaking blood stasis and should be harvested according to the season. The seeds are also used in medicine and are recorded in "Tu Jing" (Illustrated Classic).
Dijin (Pilea nummulariifolia)
Sweet in taste, leaves resemble duck feet. The vines grow along the ground, rooting at the nodes. They also climb trees and rocks, enduring cold without withering. Decocted in water or soaked in wine, it breaks blood stasis and stops pain. It dispels postpartum blood coagulation and drives out blood masses (Xue Jia) in the abdomen.
Xue (Blood Plant)
Another type, also treated using "blood" principles (likely referring to its red sap or properties). Its appearance is similar to Luoshi, but the leaves are pointed and half-red.
