黄蜀葵花：治疗小便淋沥及催生；又主治各种恶疮脓水久不愈合者，研成末外敷即愈（名医所录）。【苗】（《图经》记载）：春天生出苗，逐渐长高至一丈左右，茎叶微有毛，与蜀葵颇相似，但其叶尖狭且多有刻缺。夏末开花，淡黄色，果实呈圆柱形长一寸多，有四五瓣，上锐下圆，也微有毛。（《衍义》记载）：此物与蜀葵是不同种类，并非蜀葵中的黄色品种。叶心下有紫檀色，摘下后剔开为数处，晒干即可，否则就会腐烂。如今疮家将其作为要药使用。【产地】（《图经》记载）：到处都有。【时令】（生长）：春天生长。【用法】：腐烂时入药。【治疗】（疗效）（《图经》记载）：花治疮痈，研干末用水调涂，立即痊愈。○子治淋涩，又使妇人容易生产。（《衍义》记载）：花晒干为末，用于烂疮。○子临产时取四十九粒研烂，用温水调服即产。（《别录》云）：子催产，焙干为末，井华水下送服三钱匕。如无子，以根细切煎汁令浓滑，待冷服之。

蜀葵：久食使人灵性迟钝。○根及茎都主治客热，利小便，散脓血恶汁。○叶烧为末敷金疮，煮食主治丹石发热结，捣碎敷火疮。叶炙煮给小儿吃，治热毒下痢及大人丹痢，捣汁服亦可，恐怕腹痛就暖饮之。○花冷无毒，治小儿风疹。○子冷无毒，治淋涩通小肠，催生落胎，疗水肿，治一切疮疥并瘢疵赤靥。○白花治疟疾，去邪气，阴干为末食用（名医所录）。【名】锦葵、戎葵。【苗】（《图经》记载）：葵有数种，有蜀葵，《尔雅》所说的“戎葵”就是它。郭璞说似葵，花如槿花，戎蜀大概是其出处，因此得名。○谨按蜀葵皆自宿根而生。春初发苗渐长，茎干高及一丈许，微有白毛，叶圆而尖。至五六月开花，有深红浅红者，亦有单瓣夹瓣者，俱着花于茎间，自下而上次第开放，直至梢端叶乃始焦，其子遂成。子熟堕地即出嫩苗，比与宿根者终不繁茂。又有一种锦葵，开紫白花甚小，亦结细子，其种莳及茎叶最相类，但低矮差小为异，功用更强。葵虽有五色而治疗功能各随其色而主之。抑按《左传》曰鲍庄子之知不及葵，葵犹能卫其足。今葵心随日光所转，辄低覆其根，似知孔子曰禾生垂穗向根不忘本也。盖禾之向根仁也，葵之卫足知也。仁所以守之，知所以揆之，故葵曰揆也。【产地】（《图经》记载）：出戎蜀，今处处有之。【时令】（生长）：春苗夏花。（采）秋取。【收】阴干。【用】花根茎叶子。【色】红。【味】甘。【性】寒。【气】气之薄者，阳中之阴。【臭】腥。【治疗】（疗效）（《衍义》记载）：单叶葵根治带下，排脓血恶物。（《别录》云）：蜀葵治痈毒无头，杵末敷之。【合治】葵花末合酒服方寸匕，治横生倒产。○白葵花一两阴干为末，空心合温酒服二钱匕，治妇人白带下脐腹冷痛面色萎黄日渐虚困。如赤带用赤者为验。【禁】患狗咬疮者食之不得瘥，又能钝人情性。
Non-toxic, herbaceous plant.
Huangshu Kui Hua (Yellow Hibiscus Flower): Treats strangury and facilitates childbirth; also primarily treats various malignant sores with purulent discharge that fail to heal for a long time. Grind into powder and apply externally for immediate healing (Recorded by Famous Physicians). [Seedling] (According to *Tu Jing*): Seedlings emerge in spring, gradually growing up to about one zhang high. The stems and leaves are slightly hairy, quite similar to Shu Kui, but its leaves are narrower at the tip and more deeply incised. Flowers bloom in late summer, pale yellow. The fruit is cylindrical, over one cun long, with four or five petals, sharp at the top and round at the bottom, also slightly hairy. (According to *Yan Yi*): This is a different species from Shu Kui, not the yellow variety within Shu Kui. There is a purple sandalwood color under the heart of the leaf. After picking, split into several parts and dry in the sun; otherwise, it will rot. Currently, practitioners of sores use it as an essential medicine. [Origin] (According to *Tu Jing*): Found everywhere. [Season] (Growth): Grows in spring. [Usage]: Used when rotten. [Treatment] (Efficacy) (According to *Tu Jing*): The flower treats carbuncles and sores; grind into dry powder, mix with water, apply, and heal immediately. ○ The seed treats strangury and makes childbirth easier for women. (According to *Yan Yi*): Dry the flower, grind into powder, use for ulcerating sores. ○ For childbirth, take 49 seeds, grind until paste-like, mix with warm water, and drink to induce delivery. (According to *Bie Lu*): The seed promotes labor; bake dry, grind into powder, take three qian bi with well-water drawn at dawn. If no seed is available, finely slice the root, decoct until thick and slippery, let cool, and drink.
Non-toxic, herbaceous plant.
Shu Kui: Long-term consumption dulls mental agility. ○ The root and stem both treat external heat, promote urination, and disperse pus, blood, and foul fluids. ○ Burn the leaves into powder and apply to metal wounds; boil and eat to treat fever caused by mineral pills; crush and apply to fire burns. Boil roasted leaves and feed to children to treat dysentery due to heat toxicity and adult dysentery caused by mineral pills; crush and drink the juice is also acceptable. Fear abdominal pain, then drink it warm. ○ The flower is cold and non-toxic, treating infantile wind-rash. ○ The seed is cold and non-toxic, treating strangury, unblocking the Small Intestine, promoting labor, inducing abortion, treating edema, treating all sores and scabies, including scars and red spots. ○ White flowers treat malaria, expel evil qi; dry in shade, grind into powder, and consume (Recorded by Famous Physicians). [Names]: Jin Kui, Rong Kui. [Seedling] (According to *Tu Jing*): There are several types of Kui, including Shu Kui. What *Er Ya* calls "Rong Kui" is this one. Guo Pu said it resembles Kui, flowers like Hibiscus mutabilis. Rong and Shu are likely its origins, hence the name. ○ Carefully noted: Shu Kui grows from perennial roots. In early spring, shoots emerge and grow gradually. Stems reach nearly one zhang high, slightly hairy, leaves round and pointed. From May to June, flowers bloom, in deep red or light red, single or double-petaled, blooming sequentially from bottom to top on the stem until the tips, after which leaves wither, and seeds form. When ripe, seeds fall to the ground and sprout tender shoots, but they are never as vigorous as those from perennial roots. Another type, Jin Kui, has small purple and white flowers and produces fine seeds. Its cultivation and stems/leaves are very similar, but it is shorter and smaller, yet its efficacy is stronger. Although Kui comes in five colors, therapeutic functions vary according to color. Furthermore, according to *Zuo Zhuan*, Bao Zhuangzi's wisdom was inferior to Kui, yet Kui could still protect its feet. Now, the heart of Kui turns following the sunlight, always covering its roots, seemingly knowing what Confucius said: "Grain hangs ears pointing to roots, forgetting not its origin." Grain pointing to roots is benevolence (Ren); Kui protecting its feet is wisdom (Zhi). Benevolence preserves it; wisdom measures it. Thus, Kui is called Kui (measuring). [Origin] (According to *Tu Jing*): Originates from Rong and Shu, now found everywhere. [Season] (Growth): Spring shoots, summer flowers. [Harvest]: Autumn collection. [Preservation]: Shade-dry. [Parts Used]: Flowers, roots, stems, seeds, leaves. [Color]: Red. [Taste]: Sweet. [Nature]: Cold. [Qi]: Thin Qi, Yin within Yang. [Odor]: Fishy. [Treatment] (Efficacy) (According to *Yan Yi*): Single-leaf Kui root treats leukorrhea, expels pus, blood, and foul matter. (According to *Bie Lu*): Shu Kui treats headless carbuncles; pound into powder and apply. [Combined Treatment]: Mix Huangshu Kui Hua powder with wine, take one fang cun bi, treating breech presentation. ○ One liang of Bai Kui Hua, shade-dried and powdered, taken on an empty stomach with warm wine, two qian bi, treats female leukorrhea with cold pain in the umbilical and abdominal regions, sallow complexion, and gradual weakness. For red leukorrhea, use red flowers for verification. [Contraindications]: Do not consume if suffering from dog bite sores, as it will not heal; it can also dull human temperament.
