【石龙刍】
味苦，性微寒、微温，无毒。主治心腹部的邪气，小便不通畅，淋证及尿闭，风湿病，鬼疰（一种传染性或精神类疾病），以及恶毒之症。能补益体内虚损不足，治疗痞满（腹部胀满不适），身体缺乏润泽，出汗异常，消除尿道中的热痛，杀灭鬼疰恶毒之气。长期服用可补益虚弱消瘦，使身体轻盈，耳目聪明，延年益寿。又名龙须，又名草续断，又名龙珠，又名龙华，又名悬莞，又名草毒。以九节且气味浓郁者为佳。产于梁州的山谷湿地。五月、七月采集茎部，晒干。茎呈青色，细长相连，果实为红色，现在出产于靠近道路的水边石处，类似东阳产的龙须；用来做席子的，只是节较多罢了。
〔谨案〕《别录》记载：又名方宾，主要治疗蛔虫，以及食物不消化而已。
【络石】
味苦，性温、微寒，无毒。主治风热，死肌（肌肉坏死或麻木），痈伤，口干，舌焦，痈肿不消，喉舌肿胀不通，水浆无法下咽，大惊入腹，祛除邪气，滋养肾脏，主治腰髋疼痛，坚固筋骨，通利关节，长期服用可使身体轻盈，明目，润泽肌肤，精神好。又名石鲮，又名石蹉，又名略石，又名明石，又名领石，又名悬石。产于太山川谷，或在石山的北面，或在高山的岩石上，或生长在人间。正月采集。
杜仲、牡丹为其引经药（使药），畏铁落，害怕贝母、菖蒲。不认识此药的人，无论是仙家还是世俗的方法都无用，有人说它是石类。既然说它有时生长在人间，则不是石头，犹如石斛等，因依附石头而得名罢了。
〔谨案〕此物，生长在阴湿处，冬夏常青，果实黑色而圆，其茎蔓延伸缠绕在树石侧面。如果在石缝间生长的，叶子细浓而圆短；缠绕树木生长的，叶子大而薄。人家种植的很好。因为它苞裹着石头、树木生长，所以名叫络石。《别录》称它为石龙藤，主要治疗蝮蛇咬伤的疮，绞取汁液清洗伤口，服用汁液也能去除蛇毒引起的心闷。刀斧伤及其他疮疡，敷贴其上立即痊愈。
[Shilongchu]
Bitter, slightly cold and slightly warm, non-toxic. Primarily treats evil qi in the heart and abdomen, difficult urination, strangury (Lin syndrome) and urinary retention, wind-dampness, Guizhu (a contagious or psychosomatic disease), and malignant toxins. It tonifies internal deficiency and insufficiency, treats fullness and stagnation (Piman), lack of luster in the body, abnormal sweating, removes heat and pain in the urethra, and kills the toxic vapors of Guizhu. Long-term use tonifies emaciation and weakness, lightens the body, sharpens hearing and vision, and prolongs life. Also known as Longxu, Caoxuduan, Longzhu, Longhua, Xuanwan, and Caodu. Those with nine nodes and strong aroma are superior. Grows in valley wetlands of Liangzhou. Stems are harvested in May and July and sun-dried. The stems are green, slender, and connected; the fruits are red. Currently found near water and stones along roadsides, resembling Dongyang Longxu; those used for making mats simply have more nodes.
[Note] *Bielu* states: Also known as Fangbin, primarily treats roundworms and indigestion.
[Luo Shi]
Bitter, warm and slightly cold, non-toxic. Primarily treats wind-heat, dead flesh (muscle necrosis or numbness), sores and injuries, dry mouth, scorched tongue, persistent swelling and abscesses, swelling of the throat and tongue causing obstruction, inability to swallow fluids, fright entering the abdomen, expels evil qi, nourishes the Kidney, treats pain in the lower back and hips, strengthens sinews and bones, promotes free flow of joints, long-term use lightens the body, brightens the eyes, moistens the skin, and improves spirit. Also known as Shiling, Shicuo, Lueshi, Mingshi, Lingshi, and Xuanshi. Grows in valleys of Tai Mountain, on the shady side of rocky mountains, on high mountain rocks, or among human dwellings. Harvested in January.
Eucommia Ulmoidis Cortex (Duzhong) and Paeonia Suffruticosa Radix (Mudanpi) act as guiding herbs (Shi). It is incompatible with Iron Scale (Tieluo), and fears Fritillaria Cirrhosa Bulb (Beimu) and Acorus Tatarinowii Rhizome (Changpu). Those unfamiliar with this herb find it useless in both immortal and secular methods; some claim it is a stone type. Since it is said to grow among humans, it is not a stone, just like Dendrobium (Shihu), named after its attachment to stones.
[Note] This plant grows in shady and damp places, remains evergreen in winter and summer, has black and round fruits, and its stems creep and wrap around trees and rocks. When growing among stones, the leaves are fine, dense, round, and short; when wrapping around trees, the leaves are large and thin. Cultivated by households is excellent. Because it wraps around stones and trees while growing, it is named Luoshi (*Luo* meaning to wrap/bind). *Bielu* calls it Shilongteng, primarily treating viper bites; juice squeezed from the plant is used to wash the wound, and ingesting the juice also removes snake venom-induced chest oppression. For cuts, axe wounds, and other sores, applying it externally leads to immediate healing.
