女青:味辛,性平。主治蛊毒,驱除邪恶之气,杀灭鬼魅温疟,辟除不祥。又名雀瓢(《太平御览》中写作“闾”)。
《吴普》记载说:女青,又名霍由祗。神农氏、黄帝认为其味辛(《太平御览》中记载)。
考证:《广雅》说:女青,即乌葛。《尔雅》说:[某字],即芄兰。郭璞注释说:芄兰蔓生。折断后,有白色汁液,可以食用。《毛诗》说:芄兰之支。《传》注说:芄,是兰草。陆玑说:又名萝摩。幽州人称之为雀瓢。《本草经集注》说:雀瓢的白色汁液,注入虫蛇咬伤处解毒,就是女青苗的汁液。《唐本草》将萝摩单独列出一条。
连翘:味苦,性平。主治寒热、鼠瘘、瘰疬、痈肿、恶疮、瘿瘤、结热蛊毒。又名异翘,又名兰花,又名轵,又名三廉。生于山谷之中。
考证:《尔雅》说:连,即异翘。郭璞注释说:又名连苕,又名为连本草云。
(《太平御览》中写作“闾”,是正确的)
兰茹:味辛,性寒。主治腐蚀恶肉、溃败创口、死肌,杀灭疥虫,排出脓血恶血,去除大风邪气,治疗善忘、不乐。生于川谷之中。
