【石龙刍】
味苦，性微寒，（注：此处原文有“微温”字样，据上下文及陶弘景、唐本注辨析，实际服用能除热，故认为不温），无毒。主治心腹部的邪气，小便不通畅，淋证及尿闭，风湿病，鬼疰恶毒之气，补益体内虚损不足，痞满胀闷，身体缺乏润泽，出汗，消除阴茎内部的灼热疼痛，杀灭鬼疰恶毒之气。长期服用可补益虚羸，使身体轻盈，耳目聪明，延年益寿。又名龙须，又名草续断，又名龙珠，又名龙华，又名悬莞，又名草毒。以九节且气味浓郁者为佳，生长于梁州的山谷湿地。五月、七月采集茎部，晒干。
陶隐居说：茎呈青色，细长相连，果实为红色，现在出产于道路附近的水石之处，类似于东阳用来制作席子的龙须草，只是节更多罢了。《唐本草》注云：《名医别录》说，又名方宾。主要治疗蛔虫及食物不消化而已。现在考察其他版本的注文说：《名医别录》说性微温，现在的服用方法能清除热症，大概是不温的。臣禹锡等人谨按《蜀本图经》说：茎像……（原文缺字或模糊），丛生，俗名龙须草。现在的人用它来做席子，各地都有。八月、九月采集根部，晒干。陈藏器说：按照龙须草制作席子，如果已经破旧有污垢的，取一平方尺煮汁服用。主治淋证及小便突然不通。现在出产于汾州，也到处都有。
【薇衔】
味苦，性平、微寒，无毒。主治风湿痹痛、历节痛，惊痫吐舌，心悸气乱，贼风，鼠瘘痈肿，暴症，逐水饮，治疗痿蹶。长期服用可使身体轻盈，明目。又名糜衔，又名承膏，又名承肌，又名无心，又名无颠。生长于汉中地区的川泽以及冤句、邯郸。七月采集茎、叶，阴干。（与秦皮同用效果良好。）
陶隐居说：民间使用也较少。《唐本草》注云：这种草丛生，类似茺蔚及白头翁，叶子有毛，茎是红色的。治疗贼风有显著疗效。南方人称之为吴风草，又名鹿衔草，说是鹿有病时衔此草而痊愈。又有大、小两种，楚地人仍称大的为大吴风草，小的为小吴风草。现在考察陈藏器的《本草》说：妇女服用它，会导致绝产无子。臣禹锡等人谨按《蜀本图经》说：叶子像茺蔚，丛生，有毛，开黄花，根是赤黑色的。
陈藏器说：又名无心草，并非草无心者。南方人叫它吴风草，方药中不使用它。《素问》记载黄帝说：有病人身体发热，肢体懈怠无力，汗出如洗澡般，怕风且气短，这是什么病？岐伯说：病名叫酒风。黄帝说：怎么治疗？岐伯说：用泽泻、白术各十分，麋衔五分，合在一起用三指撮的量，在饭后服用。
[Shilongchu]
Bitter, slightly cold (Note: The original text mentions "slightly warm," but based on the analysis by Tao Hongjing and the Tang Bencao commentary, which states it clears heat when taken, it is considered not warm), non-toxic. It primarily treats evil qi in the heart and abdomen, difficult urination, strangury and urinary retention, wind-dampness, ghostly fixation and toxic vapors, tonifies internal deficiency and insufficiency, fullness and distension, lack of luster in the body, sweating, eliminates burning pain in the urethra, and kills ghostly fixation and toxic vapors. Long-term use tonifies emaciation, lightens the body, improves hearing and vision, and prolongs life. Also known as Longxu, Cao Xuduan, Zhenzhu, Longhua, Xuanwan, and Caodu. Those with nine nodes and rich aroma are superior. It grows in the valleys and wetlands of Liangzhou. The stems are harvested in May and July and dried in the sun.
Tao Hongjing said: The stems are green, thin, and connected, with red fruits. It is now produced near roads in watery and rocky areas, resembling the Longxu grass from Dongyang used to make mats, but with more nodes. The *Tang Bencao* commentary notes: *Mingyi Bielu* says it is also called Fangbin. It mainly treats roundworms and indigestion. Upon examining other versions of the commentary: *Mingyi Bielu* states it is slightly warm, but current usage clears heat, implying it is not actually warm. Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to the *Shu Ben Tu Jing*, stated: The stems resemble [text unclear], growing in clusters, commonly known as Longxu Grass. People currently use it to make mats; it is available everywhere. The roots are harvested in August and September and dried in the sun. Chen Cangqi said: According to records, if mats made of Longxu grass become old and dirty, taking one square chi boiled in water and drinking the juice treats strangury and sudden urinary obstruction. It is now produced in Fenzhou and is found everywhere.
[Wei Xian]
Bitter, neutral, slightly cold, non-toxic. It primarily treats wind-damp bi syndrome, joint pain (Li Jie Tong), convulsions with tongue protrusion, palpitations and erratic qi, thief-wind, rat-sores and carbuncles, acute masses, promotes water metabolism, and treats flaccidity and paralysis. Long-term use lightens the body and brightens the eyes. Also known as Mi Xian, Cheng Gao, Cheng Ji, Wu Xin, and Wu Dian. It grows in the rivers and marshes of Hanzhong, as well as in Yuanju and Handan. The stems and leaves are harvested in July and dried in the shade. (It works well when combined with Qin Pi.)
Tao Hongjing said: It is rarely used by common people. The *Tang Bencao* commentary notes: This herb grows in clusters, resembling *Leonurus japonicus* (Chongwei) and *Pedicularis resupinata* (Baitouweng), with hairy leaves and red stems. It is highly effective for treating thief-wind. People in the south call it Wufeng Grass, also known as Luxian Grass, saying that deer eat this grass to recover from illness. There are two varieties, large and small; people in Chu still refer to the large one as Da Wufeng Grass and the small one as Xiao Wufeng Grass. Examining Chen Cangqi's *Bencao*: Women who take it will suffer from infertility. Ministers Yu Xi et al., according to the *Shu Ben Tu Jing*, stated: The leaves resemble *Leonurus japonicus*, growing in clusters, hairy, with yellow flowers and dark red-black roots.
Chen Cangqi said: Also known as Wu Xin Grass, not meaning the grass has no heart. People in the south call it Wufeng Grass, but it is not used in prescriptions. The *Suwen* records: The Yellow Emperor asked: A patient has a hot body, physical weakness and collapse, profuse sweating like bathing, aversion to wind, and shortness of breath. What disease is this? Qibo replied: The disease is named Jiufeng (Wine Wind). The Emperor asked: How to treat it? Qibo replied: Use Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome) and Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) each in ten parts, and Mi Xian (Dendrobii Officinalis Caulis / or specific herb contextually identified as such in ancient texts, here transliterated as Mi Xian) in five parts. Mix them and take three finger-pinches after meals.
