It belongs to the same category as *Tianmendong* (Asparagi Radix). It is a vine. The leaves resemble those of bamboo. The lower part of the root grows in clusters, resembling taro. A cluster contains fifteen or sixteen tubers. They are connected with yellow and white colors.

Root
The taste is sweet with a slight bitterness. The nature is slightly warm and slightly cold. It enters the Lung meridian. It primarily treats cough and qi rebellion. It cures chronic cough due to lung heat. It can moisten the lungs and protect lung qi. It treats malnutrition (Gan syndrome) and kills roundworms, pinworms (intestinal parasites), and tapeworms. Some varieties of *Bubai* (Stemonae Radix) are bitter with a slight sweetness. However, one should select those where the sweetness prevails, as stated in the *Shennong Bencao Jing*. Otherwise, if the bitter draining action is too strong, how can it protect the lungs? Those with lung deficiency should not take it. For sudden cough, crush equal parts of *Bubai* and fresh ginger to extract juice, decoct, and take two *he* (approx. 40ml). (From *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*). Another method: crush *Bubai* to extract natural juice, mix with raw honey, and take.
