【集解】时珍曰∶按嵇含《南方草木状》云∶此草生交广，茎如金钗股，形类石斛，根
类芍药。吴黄武中，江夏李俣徙合浦遇毒，其奴吉利偶得此草与服，遂解，而吉利即遁去。
俣以此济人，不知其数也。又高凉郡产良耀草，枝叶如麻黄，花白似牛李，秋结子如小粟，
煨食解毒，功亚于吉利草。始因梁耀得之，因以为名，转梁为良耳。
根

【主治】解蛊毒，极验（时珍）。
（《纲目》）

赤，夏月长茂。根大如箸，赤色，此与百两金仿佛。
根
【气味】苦，凉，无毒。
【主治】咽喉肿痹，磨水或醋咽之，甚良（时珍）。
（《唐本草》）
【释名】辟蛇雷（《唐本》）。时珍曰∶此物辟蛇虺有威，故以雷名之。
【集解】恭曰∶辟虺雷状如粗块苍术，节中有眼。时珍曰∶今川中峨嵋、鹤鸣诸山皆有
之。根状如苍术，大者若拳。彼人以充方物，苗状当俟访问。
根
【气味】苦，大寒，无毒。
【主治】解百毒，消痰，祛大热，疗头痛，辟瘟疫（《唐本》）。治咽喉痛，痹解蛇虺毒

（《纲目》）

蒌根状。彼人颇重之，以充方物。

[Collected Explanations] Li Shizhen stated: According to Ji Han's "Southern Flora and Fauna," this herb grows in the regions of Jiaozhou and Guangzhou. Its stem resembles that of a golden hairpin, its form is similar to Dendrobii Caulis (Shihu, 石斛), and its root resembles Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishao, 芍药). During the Huangwu era of Eastern Wu, Li Yu from Jiangxia was poisoned while migrating to Hepu. His slave, Jili, accidentally obtained this herb and administered it to him, resulting in detoxification, after which Jili fled. Li Yu used this method to save others, with the number being incalculable. Additionally, Gaoliang region produces Liangyao Cao. Its branches and leaves resemble Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄), its flowers are white like those of Prunus salicina (Niuli, 牛李), and in autumn, it bears seeds resembling small millet. When roasted and eaten, it detoxifies, though its efficacy is slightly inferior to that of Jili Cao. It was originally named after Liang Yao who discovered it; later, the character "Liang" was transcribed as "Liang" (Good).
