（宋代《图经本草》）
【集解】苏颂说：佛甲草生长在筠州。多附着在向阳的石头上生长，形状像马齿苋但更细小且长，开黄色的花，不结种子，四季都有。
李时珍说：二月生出苗丛，高四、五寸，茎脆叶细，柔润光泽像马齿苋，叶片尖长而小。夏天开黄花，经过霜打就枯萎。人们多栽种在石山或瓦墙上，称为佛指甲。《救荒本草》中说：高一、二尺，叶子很大的，是景天，不是这种植物。
【气味】味甘，性寒，微毒。
【主治】烫伤和火灼伤，研磨后贴敷患处（苏颂）。
（《本草纲目》）
【释名】石荷叶（见下文）。
【集解】李时珍说：虎耳草生长在阴湿处，人们也将其栽种在石山上。茎高五、六寸，有细毛，一茎一叶，形状像荷叶盖。人们称之为石荷叶。叶子大如铜钱，形状像初生的小葵叶，以及老虎耳朵的形状。夏天开小花，淡红色。
【气味】味微苦、辛，性寒，有小毒。
独孤滔说：其汁液可以煮砂子。
【主治】瘟疫，研磨后兑酒服用。生用会导致呕吐腹泻，熟用则能止吐止泻。又治疗中耳炎，捣汁滴入耳中。痔疮肿痛者，阴干后，放入烟桶中熏蒸（李时珍）。
（《四声本草》）
【校正】从菜部移入此部。
【释名】天胡荽（《本草纲目》）、野园荽（同义）、鹅不食草（《食性本草》）、鸡肠草（详见下名）。
【集解】李时珍说：石胡荽，是生长在石缝及阴湿处的一种小草。高二、三寸，冬天生苗，茎细叶小，形状宛如嫩胡荽。其气味辛辣刺鼻，不堪食用，连鹅也不吃它。夏天开细小的黄花，结细小的种子。极易繁衍，在偏僻之地则铺满地面。案语：孙思邈《千金方》说：有一种小草，生长在水渠边潮湿处，形状类似胡荽，名叫天胡荽，也叫鸡肠草。就是这种草。与繁缕的鸡肠草，名称相同但实物不同。
【气味】味辛，性寒，无毒。
李时珍说：味辛，性温。其汁液可制砒石、雄黄。
【主治】通鼻气，利九窍，吐风痰（王炳）。去除眼翳，塞入鼻中，翳膜自然脱落（陈藏器）。治疗痔疮（孟诜）。解毒，明目，消散眼睛红肿云翳，耳聋头痛脑酸，治疗痰疟，鼻塞不通，塞鼻使息肉自落，又消散疮肿（李时珍）。
【发明】李时珍说：鹅不食草，气温而升，味辛而散，属阳，能通达于天。头与肺皆属于天，所以能上达头脑，治疗头顶痛和眼病，通鼻气并消除息肉；内达肺经，治疗痰疟，消散疮肿。它的功效可谓广泛了。案语：倪维德《原机启微集》说：治疗眼翳的碧云散：用鹅不食草解毒为君药，青黛清热为佐药，川芎大辛破瘀除邪为使药，属于升透之药。大体上如同打开锅盖的方法，常希望邪毒不闭，令其有出路。然而药力小而锐利，宜常用以积聚其力。凡眼中各种疾病，都可以使用它。生用效果更佳。王玺《集要》诗云：赤眼之余翳忽生，草中鹅不食为名。塞于鼻内频频换，三日之间复旧明。
【附方】新收十首。
寒痰气喘：野园荽研汁，和酒服用，即停止。（《集简方》）。
鼻息肉去翳：碧云散：治疗眼睛红肿，羞明昏暗，隐涩疼痛，眵泪风痒，鼻塞头痛脑酸，外翳扳睛等各种疾病。鹅不食草（晒干）二钱，青黛、川川芎各一钱，研为细末。含一口水，每次取米粒许大小放入鼻内，以流泪为度。另一法：去掉青黛。（倪氏《启微集》）。
贴目取翳：鹅不食草（捣汁熬膏）一两，炉甘石（火煅，童便淬三次）三钱，上等瓷器末一钱半，熊胆二钱，硇砂少许，研为极细末，调和成膏。贴在翳膜上，一夜后取下。用黄连、黄柏煎汤洗净，看如有残留，再贴。（孙天仁《集效方》）

(Song Dynasty *Tujing Bencao*)
[Collected Explanations] Song said: Fo Jia Cao (Sedum lineare) grows in Yinzhou. It mostly attaches to stones facing the sun, resembling Ma Chi Xian (Portulaca oleracea) but finer and longer, with yellow flowers, does not bear fruit, and is available throughout the four seasons.
Shizhen said: In the second month, seedlings emerge in clumps, four or five cun high. The stems are brittle and leaves fine, soft and lustrous like Ma Chi Xian, pointed, long, and small. It blooms yellow flowers in summer and withers after frost. People often plant it on rocky mountains or tile walls, calling it Fo Zhi Jia (Buddha's Fingernails). *Jiu Huang Ben Cao* states that plants one or two chi high with very large leaves are Jing Tian (Sedum sarmentosum), not this one.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, cold, slightly toxic.
[Indications] Burns and scalds; grind and apply topically (Song).
(*Bencao Gangmu*)
[Names] Shi He Ye (Stone Lotus Leaf) (see below).
[Collected Explanations] Shizhen said: Hu Er Cao (Saxifraga stolonifera) grows in shady and damp places; people also cultivate it on rocky mountains. The stem is five or six cun high, covered with fine hairs, bearing one leaf per stem, shaped like a lotus leaf cover. People call it Shi He Ye. The leaves are as large as a coin, resembling the young leaves of common mallow or the ears of a tiger. It bears small pale red flowers in summer.
[Flavor and Properties] Slightly bitter, acrid, cold, slightly toxic.
Dugu Tao said: Its juice can boil sand.
[Indications] Plague; grind and take with wine. Raw use induces vomiting and diarrhea; cooked use stops vomiting and diarrhea. Also treats otitis media; crush and drip juice into the ear. For painful and swollen hemorrhoids, dry in shade, burn in a smoke chamber for fumigation (Shizhen).
(*Six Sounds Bencao*)
[Correction] Transferred from the Vegetable Section.
[Names] Tian Hu Sui (Hebenstretia chinensis) (*Bencao Gangmu*), Ye Yuan Sui (same), E Bu Shi Cao (Goat Does Not Eat Grass) (*Shixing Bencao*), Ji Chang Cao (Chicken Intestine Grass) (see names below).
[Collected Explanations] Shizhen said: Shi Hu Sui is a small herb growing in stone crevices and shady, damp places. It is two or three cun high, sprouts in winter, with fine stems and small leaves, resembling tender Hu Sui (Coriander). Its odor is pungent and irritating, inedible, even goats refuse to eat it. It bears tiny yellow flowers in summer and produces small seeds. It propagates easily, covering remote areas. Note: Sun Simiao's *Qianjin Fang* mentions a small herb growing near water channels in damp places, resembling Hu Sui, named Tian Hu Sui, also called Ji Chang Cao. This is this herb. It shares the name "Ji Chang" with Fan Lv's (Stellaria media) chicken intestine but is a different substance.
[Flavor and Properties] Acrid, cold, non-toxic.
Shizhen said: Acrid, warm. Its juice can neutralize Pi Shi (Arsenic trioxide) and Xiong Huang (Realgar).
[Indications] Unblocks nasal qi, benefits the nine orifices, expels wind-phlegm (Bing). Removes eye nebula; stuff into nose, nebula falls naturally (Zangqi). Treats hemorrhoids (Shen). Detoxifies, brightens eyes, dissipates redness and swelling cloudiness, deafness, headache, and cerebral soreness, treats phlegm-malaria, nasal obstruction, stuffing nose causes polyps to fall, also dissipates sores and swellings (Shizhen).
[Elucidation] Shizhen said: E Bu Shi Cao has a warm temperature that rises and an acrid flavor that disperses; it is Yang, capable of connecting to Heaven. The head and lungs both belong to Heaven, thus it can reach the brain to treat vertex pain and eye diseases, unblock nasal qi and eliminate polyps; internally reaches the Lung meridian to treat phlegm-malaria and dissipate sores and swellings. Its efficacy is indeed comprehensive. Note: Ni Weide's *Yuanji Qiwei Ji* states: Bi Yun San for treating eye nebula uses E Bu Shi Cao detoxifying as the Sovereign drug, Qing Dai (Indigo Naturalis) clearing heat as the Assistant, Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong) strongly acrid breaking stagnation and removing evil as the Envoy; these are ascending and penetrating drugs. Generally, it is like opening a pot lid; one must ensure pathogenic evils do not close in, allowing them an exit. However, its power is small yet sharp; frequent use accumulates its strength. All eye diseases can utilize it. Raw use is more miraculous. Wang Xi's *Jiyao* poem says: After red eyes, nebula suddenly appears, named Goat Does Not Eat Grass in herbs. Frequently changed when stuffed in nose, within three days vision returns to clear.
[Attached Prescriptions] Ten new prescriptions.
Cold Phlegm Asthma: Ye Yuan Sui crushed for juice, taken with wine, immediately stops symptoms. (*Jijian Fang*).
Nasal Polyps and Eye Nebula: Bi Yun San: Treats red and swollen eyes, photophobia, dimness, hidden astringency and pain, discharge and tearing, wind itching, nasal congestion, headache, cerebral soreness, external nebula protruding into the pupil, and other diseases. E Bu Shi Cao (sun-dried) 2 qian, Qing Dai and Chuan Xiong each 1 qian, ground into fine powder. Hold a mouthful of water, insert a grain-sized amount into the nose each time, stop when tears flow. Another formula: Remove Qing Dai. (*Ni's Qimie Ji*).
Apply to Eyes to Remove Nebula: E Bu Shi Cao (crushed juice boiled into paste) 1 liang, Lu Gan Shi (calcined, quenched three times in child's urine) 3 qian, fine porcelain powder 1.5 qian, Xiong Dan (Bear Bile) 2 qian, Nao Sha (Sal Ammoniac) a little, ground into extremely fine powder, mixed into a paste. Apply to the nebula, remove after one night. Wash with decoction of Huang Lian (Coptis chinensis) and Huang Bo (Phellodendron amurense); if residue remains, reapply. (Sun Tianren *Jixiao Fang*)
Stuff Nose to Treat Nebula: Poem seen in Elucidation.
Toothache with Nasal Polyps: Wrap E Bu Shi Cao in cotton, dry, and powder. Hold a mouthful of water, stuff into left or right nostril as needed. Can also be insufflated. (*Shengji Zonglu*).

Take 5 qian each time, mix with 5 fen Gong Fen (Calomel) and Tong You (Tung Oil) to make a paper-interleaved plaster, sew around the wound. Clean with tea, bind the plaster; when yellow fluid discharges, heals in five to six days. This is Wu Zhuqing's prescription. (*Jianbian Fang*).

Painful and Swollen Hemorrhoids: Crush Shi Hu Sui and apply. (Same source)
