（宋开宝）
【气味】甘寒，无毒。
【主治】主解诸毒药，止痛，消疮毒肿，除发热咳嗽，治人及马急黄，杀小虫。
【核】曰∶出剑南、宜州、果州，及广西忠州、万州。茎蔓如大豆，叶青翠，经冬不凋；
广南一种如小槐，高尺许，石鼠啖其根，捕取者收其肠胃曝干，用以解毒攻热，云甚效。
【 】曰∶宣散气生曰山；食肉皿器曰豆。盖言受纳腐化者胃也。一名黄结，以病状言。
一名中药，以功用言。种种功用，种种病状，悉从中枢，散宣生气，所谓解从结心，解即分
散。
（宋开宝）
【气味】甘平，微寒，无毒。
【主治】主青盲，肤翳，赤肿，多眵泪，消目中赤脉，及小儿疳气攻眼。
【核】曰∶出蜀中州郡，利州甚多。木高丈余，凌冬不凋；叶似冬青而浓，柔而不光，
洁而浅绿，背有白毛；花细碎，数十房成一朵，冬生春放，色微红紫，二三月采取，曝干用。
修事∶酒浸一宿漉出候燥，润蜜令透，蒸之，从卯至酉，日干，再润蒸晒，凡三次。每花一
两，用酒半两，蜜半两为度。
【 】曰∶冬季孕萼繁密，春仲作花锦簇。先君云∶具冬营春荣之序尔。开宝陈列诸证，
咸属肝木失序，致令目眚自成，妄生节目，密蒙象形，对待治之。说文云∶瞳蒙曰 ，有目
无眸也。周礼云∶乐师有瞽， 目不明。礼记云∶昭然若发 矣。此以功用为名也。
