大腹皮，其详细记载见槟榔条目之下。
合欢，又称夜合树。生长在益州的山谷中，如今京城附近雍州、洛阳一带都有生长，许多人家多将其种植在庭院台阶之间。它的树干类似梧桐，枝条非常柔弱；叶子类似皂荚槐等树木的叶子，极其细碎而繁密，枝叶互相交错连接，每当风吹来时，枝叶似乎相互解开，不再牵连缀连；它的叶子到了傍晚就会闭合，所以又名“合昏”；五月开花，花色红白相间，花瓣上像有丝绒般的茸毛；然而到了秋天果实长成荚状，种子极薄且细小。采集树皮和树叶使用，不拘泥于具体月份。崔豹在《古今注》中说：“想要消除人的忧愁，就赠送丹棘，丹棘又名忘忧草。想要消除人的愤怒，就赠送青裳，青裳就是合欢。”所以嵇康在房前种植它，正是这个道理。韦宙在《独行方》中记载：胸心部位皮肤粗糙如鳞甲错杂，这是肺痈的症状，用黄昏汤主治。取手掌大一枚的夜合树皮，加水三升，煮至剩余半升药液，分两次服用。
秦椒，生长在泰山山谷及秦岭山上，或者琅琊地区，如今秦州、凤州之间以及明州、越州、金州、商州等地都有生长。初秋时节开花，秋末结实，九月、十月采收。陶弘景说：形状像花椒但个头较大，颜色黄黑，有人称之为大椒。苏恭说：叶子、茎干和种子都像蜀椒，只是果实较小味道较淡。《尔雅》说：[此处原文缺字或指代特定名称]，是大椒。郭璞说：花椒丛生，果实大的称为[此处原文缺字或指代特定名称]。《诗经·唐风》中说：“椒聊”。陆机的疏解也说：花椒类似茱萸，带有针刺。茎和叶坚硬而光滑，蜀人用来制作茶，吴人用来制作茗，都是将叶子一起煮以取其香气。如今成皋各地的山中称之为竹叶椒，这种树的形态也像蜀椒，毒性热性较小，不适合入药，但可以放入饮食中调味，又用来蒸鸡、猪最佳。东海诸岛上也有花椒，枝条、叶子都相似。果实长而不圆，气味很香，味道类似橘皮。岛上的獐鹿吃它的叶子，肉自然会带有花椒、橘皮的香气。而如今南北所生的一种花椒，其果实比蜀椒大，与陶弘景、郭璞、陆机的说法正相符合，应当以果实大的作为秦椒。文中提到蜀地、吴地制作茶、茗，都是煮叶子，如今不再这样做了。大概古人所食用的习惯，与现在不同的有很多。所以在苦[此处原文缺字，推测为某种草药]条下说：制作饮品时加入茱萸、葱、姜等很好，就是这个道理。相传花椒可以吸附水银。又说花椒的气性好向下行，意思是服用它有益下行，不会向上冲逆。服用药物时应当使用蜀椒。
Da Fu Pi (Areca Pericarpium), its detailed description is recorded under the entry for Bing Lang (Areca Seed).
He Huan (Albizia Bark), also known as Ye He (Night-Closing Tree). It grows in the valleys of Yizhou. Currently, it is found in the areas around Yongzhou and Luoyang near the capital, and many households plant it in their courtyards. The tree resembles Wutong (Paulownia), with very tender branches; the leaves resemble those of Zaojiao Huai (Gleditsia sinensis or similar Acacia species), being extremely fine and dense, interlocking with each other. Whenever the wind blows, the leaves seem to untie themselves from one another, no longer clinging together; at dusk, the leaves close up, hence the name He Hun (Twilight Union). Flowers bloom in May, appearing red and white, with filaments resembling velvet on the petals. By autumn, the fruit forms into pods, containing seeds that are extremely thin and fine. The bark and leaves are harvested for use, without restriction on the specific month. Cui Bao's *Gu Jin Zhu* (Records of Ancient and Modern Times) states: "To dispel a person's sorrow, gift them Dan Ji (Red Spurge/Albizia); Dan Ji is also called Wang You (Forget-Worry). To dispel a person's anger, gift them Qing Shang (Green Garment); Qing Shang refers to He Huan." Thus, Ji Kang planted it in front of his house, which is the reason behind this practice. Wei Zhou's *Du Xing Fang* (Single Journey Prescriptions) records: "Rough, scaly skin on the chest and heart area indicates Fei Yong (Lung Abscess), treated primarily with Huang Hun Tang (Twilight Decoction). Take one palm-sized piece of Ye He bark, add three sheng of water, boil until half a sheng remains, and take in two doses."
Qin Jiao (Zanthoxylum Qinense), grows in the valleys of Mount Tai and on Mount Qinling, or in Langya. Currently, it is found in the regions between Qinzhou and Fengzhou, as well as in Mingzhou, Yuezhou, Jinzhou, and Shangzhou. It flowers in early autumn and bears fruit in late autumn, harvested in September and October. Tao Hongjing stated: "It resembles Zhuo (Pepper) but is larger, yellowish-black in color, and some call it Da Jiao (Large Pepper)." Su Gong stated: "The leaves, stems, and seeds all resemble Shu Jiao (Sichuan Pepper), but the fruits are smaller and the flavor is milder." *Er Ya* states: "[Character missing], which is Da Jiao." Guo Pu stated: "Zhuo grows in clusters; those with large fruits are named [Character missing]." The *Classic of Poetry · Tang Feng* says: "Jiao Liao" (Clustered Pepper). Lu Ji's commentary also states: "Zhuo resembles Zhuyu (Cornus officinalis), possessing thorns. The stems and leaves are hard and smooth. People in Shu make tea from it, and people in Wu make ming (tea infusion), boiling the leaves together for fragrance." Currently, in the mountains of Chenggao, it is called Zhu Ye Jiao (Bamboo-Leaf Pepper). Its tree resembles Shu Jiao, has less toxicity and heat, is not suitable for medicinal compounding, but can be added to food for flavoring, and is best used for steaming chickens and pigs. There is also pepper on the islands of the East Sea; its branches and leaves are similar. The fruits are elongated and not round, very fragrant, with a taste resembling orange peel. Deer and gazelles on the islands eat its leaves, and their meat naturally acquires the scent of pepper and orange peel. However, the type of pepper currently grown in both northern and southern China has fruits larger than Shu Jiao, which aligns perfectly with the descriptions of Tao, Guo, and Lu. Therefore, the one with larger fruits should be identified as Qin Jiao. The text mentions that in Shu and Wu, tea and ming were made by boiling the leaves, a practice no longer followed today. Generally, there are many differences between what ancients consumed and what is consumed now. Thus, in the entry for Ku [Character missing] (likely referring to a bitter herb like Cha/Ku Ding Cha), it states: "Adding Zhuyu, Cong (Scallion), Jiang (Ginger), etc., when making drinks is good," which is correct. It is traditionally said that Zhuo can attract/remove Mercury. It is also said that the qi of Zhuo tends to descend, meaning taking it benefits downward movement and prevents upward rushing. When taking medicinal herbs, Shu Jiao (Sichuan Pepper) should be used.
