Also known as "Chengzhong Mu" (Tree of Hundred-Year City). Grows in the flat marshes of Jinyang.

Primarily treats pathogenic damp-bi obstruction, cold-heat du sores, resolves water retention and blood stasis, treats amenorrhea leading to infertility, inability of children to walk, various malignant sores and carbuncles, stops abdominal pain, and enables women to conceive.

Tao Hongjing states: It can resolve the toxicity of Wild Langdu (Radix Stellerae Chamaejasme). Li Yun says it is a parasite growing on camphor trees; the tree is large, with branches embedded in the flesh. Nowadays, people use Walnut Husk (Juglandis Fructus Pericarpium) to substitute for it, which is not the true substance growing in Shangluo. It is bark, resembling Houpo (Magnolia Officinalis Bark) in shape, with a color similar to the inner white layer of Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), and its texture features intersecting longitudinal and transverse grains. Merchants now peel it, making it look like Houpo, but lacking the correct grain pattern. It is unknown what this substance is; one cannot fathom its authenticity or identify the genuine article. Minister Yuxi et al. respectfully note: This herb promotes menstruation and primarily treats Spleen Heat. Zhuyu (Corni Fructus) serves as its guiding herb. It primarily treats water-soaked ulcers on hands and feet.

Also known as Niutao, also known as Yingdou. The fruit is as large as wheat grains and hairy. Harvested in April, dried in the shade.
Tao Hongjing states: This is not the modern fruit cherry; although the shape is similar, the substance is entirely different. It occurs occasionally in mountains, and is no longer used in prescriptions and materia medica.
