【鬼督邮】
味道辛、苦，性平，无毒。主治鬼疰（一种具有传染性、症状变幻莫测的慢性消耗性疾病）、突然遭受邪气侵袭导致的中恶，以及心腹部的邪气积聚、各种精怪毒素、温疟和瘟疫疾病，能强健腰脚，增强体力。又名独摇草。
《唐本草》注解说：植株只有一根茎，叶子生长在茎的顶端像伞一样（音同“伞”），根部像牛膝但更细且颜色黑。各地都有出产。通常必须丛生在一起。现在人们用徐长卿来代替它，这是不对的。（此条附于《唐本草》之前）臣禹锡等人仔细考证蜀地版本说：徐长卿、赤箭等类药材。也有一种叫鬼督邮，但主治功效不同，使用时应当仔细辨别。另外《图经》说：茎像细箭杆，高度在两尺以下。叶子生长在茎的顶端呈伞状。大概是因为根部横向生长而没有须根，花生长在叶子的中心，颜色黄白。二月和八月采集根部，各地都有。
雷公说：凡是采集后切成细段，捣碎，用生甘草水煮一个时辰（约两小时），滤出使用。

味道苦，性寒，无毒。主治解除各种药物、蔬菜、肉类中毒。用酒浸泡后服用，主治虚劳风热。生长在岭南、交州、广州的平原沼泽地带。
《唐本草》注解说：苗像野葛但开白花。根部皮厚，肉质白色，其骨比野葛柔软。（此条附于《唐本草》之前）臣禹锡等人仔细考证蜀地和《图经》说：叶子有细毛，蔓生，花白色。根部像牡丹，骨头柔软，皮白而厚。味道苦，只用根部不用苗，过冬不凋谢。
雷公说：凡是使用，不要用菜花藤，因为真的白花藤与它相似，只是味道不同。菜花藤味道酸涩，不堪使用。那白花藤有五种，《唐本草》其余部分……
【又一味药（原文未标名，据特征似指某种治风痛药）】
味道辛，性温，无毒。主治肢体关节的风痛，筋脉拘挛不利，跌打损伤瘀血，五缓（五种弛缓性病症）引起的痉挛疼痛。生长在剑州的山谷中，叶子像楠木但细长。随时可以采集。

[Gui Du You]
Taste: Acrid, Bitter. Nature: Neutral. Non-toxic. Indications: Gui Zhu (a contagious, chronic wasting disease with shifting symptoms), sudden attack by evil qi causing Zhong E (sudden collapse or coma), pathogenic qi accumulation in the heart and abdomen, various toxins from spirits/essences, Warm Malaria, and epidemic diseases. It strengthens the waist and legs and increases physical strength. Also known as Du Yao Cao (Solitary Swaying Grass).
*Bencao Tang Xin* notes: The plant has a single stem; leaves grow at the top of the stem like an umbrella (pronounced 'san'); the root resembles *Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix* (Niu Xi) but is thinner and black. It is found everywhere. It must grow in clusters. Currently, people substitute it with *Cynanchum Atratum* (Xu Chang Qing), which is incorrect. (Attached prior to *Bencao Tang*). Minister Yuxi et al. carefully examined the Shu edition: *Cynanchum Atratum*, *Saposhnikoviae Radix* (Chi Jian), etc. There is also one called Gui Du You, but its therapeutic indications differ; careful distinction is required when using it. Furthermore, *Tujing* states: The stem resembles a thin arrow shaft, less than two chi high. Leaves grow at the top of the stem in an umbrella shape. Presumably because the root grows horizontally without fibrous roots, flowers grow in the center of the leaves, yellowish-white. Roots are harvested in February and August; available everywhere.
Leigong says: Upon collection, cut into fine pieces, pound, boil in water with raw *Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma* (Sheng Gan Cao) for one shichen (approx. 2 hours), strain, and use.
[Bitter, Cold Herb - Name omitted in source text segment]
Taste: Bitter. Nature: Cold. Non-toxic. Indications: Resolves poisoning from various medicines, vegetables, and meats. Taken after soaking in wine, it treats deficiency-type labor with wind-heat. Grows in Lingnan, Jiaozhou, and Guangzhou's plains and marshes.
*Bencao Tang Xin* notes: The seedling resembles *Kadsura Longipedunculata* (Ye Ge) but bears white flowers. The root bark is thick, the flesh is white, and its core is softer than that of Ye Ge. (Attached prior to *Bencao Tang*). Minister Yuxi et al. carefully examined the Shu edition and *Tujing*: Leaves have fine hairs, vine-like growth, white flowers. Root resembles *Paeoniae Radix Rubra* (Mu Dan Pi) in shape, soft core, white and thick bark. Taste bitter; only the root is used, not the seedling; does not wither in winter.
Leigong says: When using, do not use *Vitis flexuosa* (Cai Hua Teng), because the true Bai Hua Teng resembles it, differing only in taste. Cai Hua Teng tastes sour and astringent and is unsuitable for use. Regarding Bai Hua Teng, there are five types; the remainder of *Bencao Tang*...

Indications: Resolves Gu poison (poisonous substance created by magical means), stops irritability and heat, wards off miasma and pestilence, relieves throat obstruction and phlegm toxicity.
