各地麦田中都有生长，临安县的乡村尤其多，四月时采集。它的茎缠绕在麦秆上，叶片形状像神仙对坐草但略尖，表面微有绒毛，叶片对生在节上，茎细长，节部微呈紫色。叶片小的药效好，叶片大的药力弱。
跌打损伤张氏传方：用干燥药材一钱，用酒煎服。
白毛藤又名天灯笼，又名和尚头草。白毛藤生长在人家墙壁上，茎和叶上都有白色绒毛，八月、九月开出藕合色的花，结出的果实初为青色，成熟后变红，鸟雀喜欢食用它。《百草镜》记载：白毛藤多生长在人家园圃中的墙壁上，春天生长冬天枯萎，结出的果实小如豆子且柔软，红如珊瑚，霜降后叶子枯死，只有红色的果实累累悬挂在墙壁上，俗称为毛藤果。采摘其藤蔓晒干后浸泡在酒中，据说可以去除骨节风湿痛。
（白毛藤）能治疗血淋、疟疾、疝气。将汁液滴入耳中，可止住耳脓且不使伤口干燥。入药使用，能防止肿毒扩散变大。治疗[此处原文缺失病症，推测为某种疼痛或肿胀]，用煮牛肉的精汤送服；治疗水肿、小儿蛔虫积聚引起的腹痛。《采药志》说：其性热，能活血，追风生血，治疗鬼箭羽有效。
风痛杨氏验方：桑黄二两，白毛藤二两，切碎，用绍兴原坛酒六斤，煎煮至燃烧三炷香的时间，每日服用一次。
黄疸初起《百草镜》：白毛藤、神仙对坐草、大茵陈、三白草、车前草各等分，用白酒煎服。
大气脬（指严重的腹胀或水臌）不药良方：用白毛藤，用无灰酒送服。
盒子草又名盒儿藤，喜欢生长在水岸边道路旁，苗高三四尺，叶子像波斯草（此处疑为“芭蕉”或特定植物名之误，依原文译），花上有小绒球，五月结实成球状，球内生有两片黑色种子，生长时呈青色，老熟后变黑，每片种子纹路浑圆如同龟背，又名龟儿草。炼丹术士取它的汁液来伏制硫磺和水银，根部能伏制雌雄药物。《百草镜》记载：鸳鸯木鳖，一名水荔枝、盒儿藤。叶子长而尖，有锯齿，生长在水边，蔓生，秋天结果，形状像荔枝，青色有刺，壳中间有断裂纹理，分为两截相合，里面藏着两颗种子，颜色黑如木鳖子但较小。孙氏丹方：盒子草，其子和叶有小毒，蔓生岸边，叶尖花白，子中有两片，如同盒子。《本草纲目》附在子藤之后，对其花、果实、根的形状描述都不甚详细。
赵学敏按语：这种草似乎就是予知子（即天球草），近来人们很少使用，而吴氏遵循程氏的新著，认为予知子是近日所没有的，直接不知道它就是天球草。世人不使用它，而草医又给它起了其他名字。
It grows in wheat fields everywhere, especially abundant in the countryside of Lin'an County. It is harvested in April. Its stems twine around the wheat stalks. The leaves resemble those of *Shenxian Duizuo Cao* (Ficus tikoua / "Immortal Sitting Opposite Grass") but are slightly pointed, with a slight fuzziness on the surface. The leaves grow opposite each other at the nodes. The stems are slender, and the nodes are slightly purplish. Leaves that are small are superior; leaves that are large have weak medicinal efficacy.
Zhang's Hereditary Formula for Bruises and Trauma: Take one qian (approx. 3.7g) of the dried herb, decoct it in wine, and take orally.
It is also known as Tian Denglong (Heavenly Lantern) and Heshang Tou Cao (Monk's Head Grass). *Baimao Teng* (White-haired Vine, *Ageratum conyzoides*) grows on the walls of houses. Both its stems and leaves are covered with white hairs. It flowers in August and September with lotus-root-colored blossoms. The fruits are initially green and turn red when ripe. Birds and sparrows delight in eating them. *Baicao Jing* (Mirror of Hundred Herbs) records: *Baimao Teng* mostly grows on the walls of gardens and houses. It sprouts in spring and withers in winter. The fruits are small like beans and soft, red like coral. After the frost, the leaves wither, leaving only the red fruits hanging densely on the walls, commonly called Maoteng Guo (Hairy Vine Fruit). Harvesting the vines, drying them, and soaking them in wine is said to eliminate rheumatic pain in the joints.
It stops bloody strangury (hematuria), treats malaria, and hernia. Dripping the juice into the ear stops purulent discharge without causing dryness. When included in prescriptions, it prevents swelling and toxins from spreading or enlarging. To treat [illness omitted in original], consume the essence of boiled beef. It treats edema and abdominal pain caused by roundworm accumulation in children. *Caizao Zhi* (Record of Herb Collection) states: Its nature is hot; it invigorates blood, chases wind, generates blood, and is effective in treating *Guijian Yu* (Arrow-shaped Branch, *Euonymus alatus*).
Yang's Verified Formula for Wind Pain: Two liang (approx. 60g) of Sanghuang (Phellinus linteus), two liang of *Baimao Teng*, chopped finely. Decoct in six jin (approx. 3kg) of Shaoxing original jar wine until three incense sticks have burned. Take once daily.
Early-stage Jaundice: *Baicao Jing*: Equal parts of *Baimao Teng*, *Shenxian Duizuo Cao*, Da Yinchen (Artemisia capillaris), Sanbaicao (Houttuynia cordata), and Cheqiancao (Plantago asiatica). Decoct in white wine and take orally.
Da Qi Pao (Severe Abdominal Distension/Water Swelling): Bu Yao Liang Fang (Excellent Prescription Without Medicine): Use *Baimao Teng*, taken orally with Huigui Jiu (wine without dregs/impurities).
Hezi Cao (Box Grass) is also commonly called He'er Teng. It prefers growing by water banks and roadsides. The seedlings are three to four chi (approx. 1-1.3 meters) high. The leaves resemble Boshi grass (likely a typo for a specific plant, translated literally), and the flowers have small fluffy balls. It bears fruit in May, forming a ball. Inside the ball are two black seeds. They are green when fresh and black when old/mature. Each seed resembles a tortoise shell pattern, hence also called Gui'er Cao (Tortoise Child Grass). Alchemists use its juice to fix mercury and sulfur. The roots can fix yin and yang substances. *Baicao Jing* records: Yuanyang Mubie (Mandarin Duck Calabash), also known as Shuili Zhi (Water Lychee) and He'er Teng. The leaves are long and pointed with serrated edges, growing by the water, creeping. It fruits in autumn, resembling a lychee, green with thorns. The shell has a central fracture line, splitting into two halves that fit together, hiding two black seeds inside, smaller than Mubie Zi (Calabar Bean). Sun's Alchemical Formula: Hezi Cao. The seeds and leaves have slight toxicity. It creeps along banks, has pointed leaves and white flowers. The seeds contain two pieces like a box. *Bencao Gangmu* attaches it after Ziteng, but the descriptions of its flowers, fruits, and root shapes are not very detailed.
Hezi Cao has slight toxicity. It mainly treats gu poison (parasitic disease) and snake bites. Applying the crushed herb topically to sores leads to immediate healing.
Early-stage Gan Ji (Infantile Malnutrition/Indigestion): *Baicao Jing* says: Three qian of Yuanyang Mubie, decocted and taken orally, will cure it.
Zhao Xuemin's Note: This herb seems to be what I know as Yuzhi Zi (which is Tianqi Cao / *Solanum lyratum*). Recently, people rarely use it. Wu Shi, following Cheng Shi's new work, claimed Yuzhi Zi was unavailable in recent times, completely unaware that it is indeed Tianqi Cao. Because the general public does not use it, folk healers have substituted it with other names.
