【荩草】
味苦，性平，无毒。主治久咳、气逆上喘，长期受寒引起的惊悸，以及伴有结痂的疥癣、白秃疮和皮肤溃疡之气，能杀灭皮肤上的小虫。
可以用来染成黄色或金色。生长在青衣川的山谷中。九月、十月采集。（畏忌鼠妇。）
陶隐居说：青衣位于益州西部。《唐本草》注解说：这种草，叶子像竹子但细薄，茎也是圆而细小。生长在平原沼泽和溪涧旁边，荆襄地区的人煮它来染黄布，颜色非常鲜艳美好。洗疮有效。俗名叫绿蓐草。《尔雅》说：这就是所说的王刍。臣禹锡等人谨按《尔雅疏》说：绿，就是鹿蓐。现在叫作鸱脚莎。《诗经·卫风》说：“看那淇水弯曲处，绿色的竹子茂盛”，指的就是这个。
【蒲公草】
味甘，性平，无毒。主治妇人乳痈肿痛。用水煮取汁饮用并外敷患处，立即消散。又名拘耨草。
《唐本草》注解说：叶子像苦苣菜，花黄色，折断后有白色汁液，人们都食用它。（《唐本草》先附于此）臣禹锡等人谨按《蜀本图经》说：花像菊花但较大。茎、叶折断都有白色汁液，可以生吃。生长在平原沼泽和田园中，四月、五月采集。
《图经》说：蒲公草，旧籍没有记载其出产的州土，如今到处平原沼泽和田园中都有。春天初生苗，叶子像苦苣菜，有细刺。中心抽出一根茎，茎端开出一朵花，颜色黄如金钱。折断它的茎，有白色汁液流出，人们也食用它。俗称为蒲公英。语音讹传为仆公KT 就是这个。用水煮汁治疗妇人乳痈。又捣碎外敷疮疡也很好。又治恶刺及狐尿刺，摘取根部，用茎中的白色汁液涂抹，只要多涂几次立刻痊愈。此方出自孙思邈《千金方》，其序言说：我在贞观五年七月十五日夜，左手手背触到庭院树木，到天亮就患痛不可忍。经过十天，疼痛日益加深，疮疡日益高肿，颜色像熟的小豆色。曾听长者论说有此方，于是依此治疗。手下即愈，疼痛也消除，疮疡随即痊愈，不到十天就平复了。杨炎《南行方》也记载了其疗效。
梅师方治疗产后不能亲自哺乳婴儿，乳汁积聚结成痈肿。取蒲公草捣碎敷在肿处，每天三、四次更换。
《衍义》说：蒲公草，就是现在的地丁。四季常有花，花谢后飞絮，絮中有种子，落在哪里就在哪里生长，所以庭院间
[Jin Cao (Arthratherum japonicum)]
Bitter in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats chronic cough with rebellious Qi and wheezing, palpitations caused by long-standing cold, scabies with crusts, alopecia areata, ulcerative skin conditions, and kills small insects on the skin.
It can be used to dye yellow or golden color. Grows in the valleys of Qingyi River. Harvested in September and October. (Averse to Porcellio scaber.)
Tao Hongjing stated: Qingyi is located west of Yizhou. The Commentary on Tang Bencao notes: This herb has leaves resembling bamboo but thinner and finer, and its stems are round and small. It grows beside plains, marshes, and streams. People in Jingxiang boil it to dye cloth yellow, producing a very bright and beautiful color. It is effective for washing sores. Commonly known as Lvru Cao. The *Erya* states: This is what is called Wangchu. Ministers Yu Xi et al. carefully examined the commentary on *Erya*: "Lv" refers to Luru. Now it is called Chijiaosha. The *Book of Songs · Wei Feng* states: "Look at the bend of the Qi River, where green bamboos flourish," referring to this.
[Pu Gong Cao (Taraxaci Herba)]
Sweet in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Primarily treats breast abscesses and swelling in women. Boil in water, drink the juice, and apply externally; it dissipates immediately. Also known as Junou Cao.
The Commentary on Tang Bencao notes: Leaves resemble Sonchus oleraceus, flowers are yellow, white latex exudes when broken, and people eat it. (First attached in Tang Bencao) Ministers Yu Xi et al. carefully examined the Shuben Tujing: Flowers are like chrysanthemums but larger. Stems and leaves exude white latex when broken and are suitable for raw consumption. Grows in plains, marshes, and fields. Harvested in April and May.
The Tujing states: Pu Gong Cao was not previously recorded regarding its place of origin; now it is found everywhere in plains, marshes, and fields. In early spring, shoots emerge; leaves resemble Sonchus oleraceus with fine spines. A single stem emerges from the center, bearing a flower at the tip, yellow like gold coins. When the stem is broken, white latex flows out, and people also consume it. Commonly called Pu Gong Ying. The pronunciation evolved into Pugong KT. Boiling in water and drinking the juice treats female breast abscesses. Crushing and applying externally to sores is also excellent. It also treats thorn prickles and fox urine prickles; take the root, apply the white latex from the stem; frequent application leads to immediate recovery. This prescription comes from Sun Simiao's *Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold*, in whose preface he wrote: On the night of July 15th in the fifth year of Zhenguan, I accidentally touched a tree in the courtyard with the back of my left middle finger. By dawn, I suffered unbearable pain. After ten days, the pain deepened, the sore became higher and swollen, colored like cooked mung beans. Having heard elders discuss this prescription, I followed it for treatment. It healed instantly, pain ceased, and the sore recovered within ten days. Yang Yan's *Nanxing Fang* also records its efficacy.
Meishi Fang treats postpartum inability to breastfeed, where accumulated milk forms an abscess. Take Pu Gong Cao, crush it, and apply to the swelling, changing it three to four times daily.
Yanyi states: Pu Gong Cao is now called Diding. It blooms throughout the year. After flowering, it produces fluff containing seeds, which sprout wherever they fall, hence in courtyards...
