Mainly treats Yangfeng (a stubborn skin disease). Take a handful of the material, remove the black parts on top, crush it, and decoct it until viscous like sugar. Apply to the affected area. Zhimu resembles Shanmu (Cunninghamia lanceolata). It grows in deep mountains in Jiangnan.

Under the entry for Qinpi, Su Gong's annotation says: Tanpi (bark of Tan tree) resembles Qinpi. Investigating the Tan tree, its bark can be taken and mixed with Yu pi (elm bark) for consumption to achieve Dugu (fasting/abstaining from grains). The *Erya* states: Tan is Kutu (bitter tea). Its leaves are suitable for making drinks; the tree is slender and suitable for making axe handles. In summer, some do not shed leaves; suddenly leaves open, predicting major floods. Farmers observe this to predict water or drought disasters, calling it Shuitan. Another variety has leaves like Tan, five to six chi high. Grows on plateaus, flowers in April, pure purple color, also named Tan. Roots resemble Ge (Kudzu), extremely effective for treating Chuangjie (sores and scabies), killing parasites, slightly toxic. The *Erya* does not have "Tan, Kutu," only stating "Jia, Kutu." Guo Pu's annotation says: Tree small like Zhizi (Gardenia), winter evergreen leaves, can be boiled into soup. Early harvested is called Tu, late harvested is called Ming. Also named Shu. Shu people call it Kutu; Ming and Kutu were already mentioned above. Citing the *Erya* again suggests an error here.
Under the entry for Luanjing, Su Gong's annotation says: One should use Luanjing, not this. Investigating Shijing resembles Jing (thorny shrub) but smaller. Grows near water; ash juice washes the head to promote hair growth. The *Guangji Fang* states: Also known as Shuijing. Its main function is promoting long hair.
Under the entry for Loulu, Tao Hongjing's annotation says: Loulu is also named Luli. People in southern mountains use the seedlings; people in northern mountains use the roots. The efficacy is recorded in the *Benjing*. Muli Lu is toxic. It is not Loulu. The tree grows like Zhuyu (Cornus officinalis), three chi high, toxic. Kills parasites; mountain people use it for Chuangjie.
Under the entry for Kucai, Tao Hongjing's annotation says: There is also Zhaolu mu resembling Ming (tea). Taking leaves to decoct and drink causes sleeplessness all night. Investigation shows this tree is also named Gaolu. Leaves are large like tea, bitter and astringent. Southerners boil it as a drink to quench thirst, brighten eyes, relieve restlessness, cause sleeplessness, resolve phlegm, and mix with water to use as tea. The *Guangzhou Ji* states: Xinping County produces Gaolu, leaves are large and astringent. The *Nanyue Zhi* states: Longchuan County has Gaolu, leaves resemble tea, locals call it Guoluo.
