Su Song stated: It is named for its efficacy in knitting bones. Its flowers and leaves resemble those of *Dioscorea nipponica* (Musuo), *Ageratum conyzoides* (Luying), and *Oenanthe javanica* (Shuiqin); therefore, it is also called "Musuo Diao."
[Collected Explanations]
Su Gong stated: It is found everywhere. The leaves resemble *Ageratum conyzoides*, and the flowers are similar. However, it grows into a tree about one or two zhang high, with light, hollow wood lacking pith. Branches inserted into the ground take root easily, and households often cultivate it.

Sweet, bitter, neutral, non-toxic.
Chen Zangqi stated: Crushed juice can also induce vomiting; it has slight toxicity.

Treats traumatic injuries, knits bones and sinews, removes wind-induced itching and dental caries pain, and can be used for bathing decoctions (citing *Tang Bencao*).
Root Bark: Treats phlegm-fluid retention, reduces edema and phlegmatic malaria. Boil the juice and ingest; it will induce diarrhea or vomiting. Do not take in large amounts (citing Chen Zangqi). Treats stasis from contusions.
[Attached Prescriptions]
One old prescription, one new prescription.
For fractured bones and injured sinews: Take 0.5 liang of Xugu Mu (Elderberry Stem), 0.5 qian of Ruxiang (Frankincense), 1 liang each of Shaoyao (Peony Root), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), Xiongqiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong), and Ziran Tong (Natural Pyrite). Grind into powder. Melt 4 liang of Huangla (Yellow Beeswax), mix well with the powder, and roll into pills the size of a Chinese chestnut. For simple injuries, dissolve one pill in wine and drink. For fractures and dislocations, apply this externally first, then ingest internally. (From *Weisheng Yijian Fang*).
For postpartum blood syncope, heat in the five centers (palms, soles, and chest), exhaustion of strength, and uncontrollable alternating chills and fever: Take one handful of broken Xugu Mu (broken like bean-sized pieces), add one sheng of water, decoct to obtain half a sheng, and divide into doses. It also treats frequent urination and persistent lochia; ingestion leads to recovery. This wood retains its efficacy even after being boiled three times. It is a miraculous formula for reviving the dying. (From *Chanshu*).
