[Mangcao (Illicium lanceolatum)]
Taste: Acrid, Bitter. Nature: Warm. Toxicity: Toxic. Indications: Primarily treats head wind-induced carbuncles and swellings, mastitis (breast abscess), hernia, and masses (fixed abdominal tumors). It resolves stagnant Qi, scabies, and pruritus; treats fungous sores caused by insects/toxins; and kills parasites in fish. It treats obstruction of the throat due to throat bi (sore throat with difficulty swallowing), difficult lactation, and scalp pruritus caused by head wind. It can be used for washing/bathing but must not come into contact with the eyes. Alternative names: [Character missing], Chuncao (Spring Grass). Habitat: Valleys in Shanggu and Wanqu regions. Harvesting: Leaves are collected in the fifth lunar month and dried in the shade. Note: Shanggu is far from Youzhou; currently, it is found everywhere in the mountains of the eastern regions. Quality: Leaves that are fresh green and have a strong aroma are considered superior. Usage: People crush them and mix them with rice into water; fish that swallow it die and float up, and humans can eat them without harm. The character "Mang" is sometimes written differently; commonly known as [Character missing] grass today.

[Commentary (Jin'an)]
This tree has leaves similar to Hibiscus mutabilis (Rose of Sharon) but thinner and finer; flowers are yellow like Sophora japonica (Pagoda Tree) but slightly larger and longer; the pod resembles Physalis alkekengi (Chinese Lantern), containing seeds inside that resemble ripe peas, round, black, hard, and suitable for making prayer beads. Flowers can be harvested in the fifth and sixth lunar months. Southerners combine them with Coptis chinensis (Huanglian) to make a decoction, which is highly effective for treating red, ulcerated eyes. The flowers can also be used to dye fabric yellow, producing a very bright and beautiful color.
