生背阴山脚下，或涧旁。谷雨后发苗，叶类苎麻，背不白，对节生，节下则粗如鹤膝，
作紫
色。敏按∶接骨草数种，俱产深山涧隰旁，近地罕得，人家间有种之者，然麻衣接骨每不易
得。玉接骨性凉味甘而补，能和中调血，生髓益津，其功不仅专治折损。麻衣接骨，性温而
行血，惟专治折损。故人多不传其种，辛亥，予馆临安，游西径山宝珠寺，见山门外遍隙地
皆麻衣接骨，形状俨如土牛膝，而粗处作紫黯色，甚脆。折之从粗节处断；视之，紫透中心
，诚为佳草，不易得。而山僧土人悉皆莫识，故得滋育盈畦也。
治跌打损伤。
生山上，与麻衣接骨相似，而叶茎俱紫，治跌扑劳伤损瘀。
汪连仕云∶金宝相，一名金钵盂。罨金疮之圣药。又能散风透脓，一夜即透，其叶如蝴
蝶花
，根如商陆，即皱皮葱。今呼麻叶接骨。敏按∶汪所论，当又是一种，亦非荔枝草，而又不
是似牛膝之一种接骨也。
花上细粉附
此草苗如薄荷，叶微圆，长五六寸，谷雨后生苗，立夏后，枝桠间复生二小叶，节节皆
有。
至秋后，二小叶中心白色，俨如凤眼，故名。八九月眼中开花，其花如须，长一二寸，紫黄
色，亦可入药。 百草镜∶凤眼草芒种后，其枝桠间二小叶中心，各起蕊一粒，如人两眼，
细碎如石胡荽子状。至小暑后，色转红黄，渐抽长如须，此草自苗至老，叶皆有淡红晕。
敏按∶经验广集∶治小便不通，有皂角汤熏法。方中用凤眼草，乃臭春叶别名，与此名同物
异。又荔枝草亦名凤眼草，与此亦异。
治一切风痹，活血去风，酒煎服立效。
室女干血劳∶用凤眼草连根叶鲜者一两，加红花三钱，酒煎服，通经自愈。
四日两头虐∶用凤眼草煮红枣，饮汁自愈（俱传信方）。

花上细粉∶入癣药，杀虫定痒。
Grows at the foot of shady mountains or beside streamlets. Sprouts after the Grain Rain solar term; leaves resemble those of ramie (Boehmeria nivea), with non-white undersides, arranged oppositely on the stem. The nodes below the leaves are thick like a crane's knee, exhibiting a purple color.
I, Zhao Xuemin, have observed: There are several varieties of Jiegu Cao (Herba Ecliptae / Bone-setting Grass), all produced in deep mountain streams and damp lowlands, rarely found near inhabited areas. Occasionally some households cultivate them, yet Mayi Jiegu (Hemp-coat Bone-setting Grass) is difficult to obtain. Yu Jiegu (Jade Bone-setting Grass) has a cool nature and sweet taste with tonifying properties; it harmonizes the middle jiao (middle burner) and regulates blood, generates marrow and benefits fluids. Its efficacy is not limited solely to treating fractures. Mayi Jiegu has a warm nature and promotes blood circulation, specifically treating fractures. Therefore, people rarely pass on its cultivation method. In the Xinhai year (1791), while residing in Lin'an, I visited Baozhu Temple on Xijing Mountain and saw Mayi Jiegu growing abundantly in the gaps outside the temple gate. Its shape resembles Tu Niuxi (Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae), but the thicker parts are dark purple and very brittle. It breaks from the thick nodes; upon inspection, the purple color penetrates to the center. It is indeed an excellent herb, hard to come by. However, the mountain monks and locals were unfamiliar with it, allowing it to grow luxuriantly across the fields.
Indicated for traumatic injuries from falls and blows.
Grows on mountains, similar to Mayi Jiegu, but both leaves and stems are purple. Indicated for traumatic injuries from falling, labor-induced damage, and blood stasis.
Wang Lianshi stated: Jinbaoxiang (Golden Treasure Appearance), also known as Jinboyu (Golden Bowl), is a sacred medicine for applying to metal wounds. It can also disperse wind and expel pus, achieving penetration within one night. Its leaves resemble Iris japonica, and its roots resemble Radix Phytolaccae Acinosae (Phytolacca root), also known as Zhoupi Cong (Wrinkled-skin Scallion). Currently called Maye Jiegu (Hemp-leaf Bone-setting Grass).
My note: What Wang discussed must be another variety, neither Lizhi Cao (Herba Plantaginis Depressae) nor the variety resembling Niuxi (Achyranthes root).
[Fengyancao]
Fine powder adheres to the flowers.
The seedlings of this herb resemble Mint (Mentha haplocalyx); leaves are slightly round, 5–6 cun long. Sprouts appear after Grain Rain. After Start of Summer, two small leaves regenerate between branch forks, present at every node. By autumn, the centers of these two small leaves turn white, resembling phoenix eyes, hence the name. In the eighth and ninth lunar months, flowers bloom from the "eyes," with filaments 1–2 cun long, purple-yellow in color, also usable as medicine.
*Bai Cao Jing* (Mirror of Hundred Herbs) records: After the Mangzhong solar term, each of the two small leaves between branch forks produces a pistil-like structure resembling human eyes, fine and fragmented like seeds of *Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides*. After Minor Heat solar term, the color turns red-yellow, gradually elongating like filaments. From seedling to maturity, the leaves possess pale red halos.
My note: *Jingyan Guangji* (Extensive Collection of Experience) records: For treating urinary retention, there is a method of fumigation with Gaojiao Tang (Soap Pod Decoction). The formula uses Fengyancao, which is an alias for Chouchunye (Stinking Spring Leaf), sharing the same name but being a different substance. Additionally, Lizhi Cao is also named Fengyancao, which is distinct from this one.
Indicated for various wind-bi syndromes; invigorates blood and dispels wind. Decocted in wine for immediate effect.
Dry blood consumption in unmarried women: Use 1 liang of fresh Fengyancao (whole plant including roots and leaves), add 3 qian of Honghua (Flos Carthami Tinctorii), decoct in wine. Once menstruation resumes, recovery occurs naturally.
Intermittent malaria occurring every other four days: Boil Fengyancao with Red Dates (Fructus Jujubae), drink the juice for self-healing. (Both from *Chuanxin Fang*)
Female amenorrhea with fever and consumptive syndrome: Powder 1 liang of Fengyancao, stir-fry 2 qian of Honghua (Flos Carthami Tinctorii). Add 3 zhong of water, decoct to 1 zhong. Add 5 qian of Black Sugar (Lakshara). Take on an empty stomach for 3–5 doses. Bleeding stops upon appearance of menses. (From *Yixue Zhinan*)
Spermatorrhea and leukorrhea: Dry-roast Fengyancao, grind into powder (5 qian). Mix with hot yellow rice wine for ingestion. (From *Yixue Zhinan*)
Fine powder from flowers: Added to tinea medications to kill parasites and relieve itching.
