（《本草纲目》）
【集解】李时珍说：排草香产于交趾，如今岭南地区也有种植。它是草根，颜色白色，形状像细柳根，人们常把它伪冒混杂在其他香料中。据考证：范成大在《桂海志》中说：排草香的形态像白茅香，气味浓烈如同麝香。人们也用它来配制香料，各种香料中没有能比得上它的。还有麝香木，产于古城，是腐朽老树的心材节段，气味很像麝香。
根
【气味】辛味，温性，无毒。
【附录】瓶香 陈藏器说：据考证，陈藏器记载：产于南海山谷，属于草本植物。它的气味寒凉，无毒。主治鬼魅邪精之病，流行性时气病，都适宜焚烧。用水煮汁，洗涤水肿胀满之气。与生姜、芥子煎汤，沐浴治疗风疟非常有效。
耕香 陈藏器说：产于乌浒国，茎上生长细叶，味道辛温，无毒，主治鬼气，调理中焦，去除臭味。
李时珍说：这两种香都是草本形态，恐怕也是排草香的一类，所以附记在这里。
（《本草拾遗》）
【集解】陈藏器说：《广志》记载：产于西海。《魏略》记载：产于大秦国。
李时珍说：魏文帝时期，从西域移植到庭院中，曹植等人各自为此作赋。大意是说这种草枝干修长，茎柔嫩，枝条细小，根系弱。花朵繁茂结实，严霜也不凋谢。采收时要幽闭杀死（以保存香气），摘去枝叶。装入袋子佩戴，芳香非常浓烈。与现在的排草香气味相同。
【气味】辛味，温性，无毒。
某人（佚名）说：性平不温。配合羌活制成丸药，焚烧，可驱避蚊蝇。
（《本草拾遗》）
【集解】陈藏器说：《广志》记载：车香产于徐州，高数尺，黄叶白花。《尔雅》记载：车，即乞舆。郭璞说：是香草。
某人（佚名）说：产于海南山谷。《齐民要术》记载：凡是树木被虫蛀的，煎煮这种香冷却后淋洒，即可辟除虫害。
李时珍说：《楚辞》中提到：“畦留夷与揭车。”那么古人经常栽培它，与现在的兰香、零陵香相似。
【气味】辛味，温性，无毒。 某人（佚名）说：微寒。
(Compendium of Materia Medica)
[Collected Explanations] Li Shizhen stated: Paicao Xiang (Sedge Fragrance) originates from Jiaozhi, and is now also cultivated in the Lingnan region. It is a root, white in color, resembling the roots of fine willow, which people often use as a counterfeit or admixture. According to research: Fan Chengda in *Guanghai Zhi* states that Paicao Xiang resembles Baomao Xiang (White Cogon Grass Fragrance), with an intense aroma similar to Moschus (Musk). People also use it to compound incense; no other fragrance can compare with it. There is also Muxiangmu (Musk-scented Wood), produced in Gucheng, which consists of the heartwood nodes of old, decayed trees, having an odor quite similar to Musk.
Root
[Properties and Flavor] Acrid, warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Repels odors, removes evil and turbid qi (Li Shizhen).
[Appendix] Pingxiang (Bottle Fragrance) Chen Cangqi stated: Research indicates that Chen Cangqi recorded: It grows in the valleys of the South Sea and is a herbaceous plant. Its flavor is cold and non-toxic. It treats diseases caused by ghosts, malevolent spirits, and epidemic seasonal pathogens, all of which are suitable for burning. Boiled in water, it washes away edematous and floating qi. Decocted with Ginger Rhizome (Shengjiang) and Mustard Seed (Jiezi) for bathing, it is highly effective for treating wind-type malaria.
Gengxiang (Plowed Fragrance) Chen Cangqi stated: It grows in Wuhu State, with slender leaves growing on the stem. Its flavor is acrid and warm, non-toxic. It treats ghostly qi, regulates the middle jiao, and eliminates foul odors.
Li Shizhen stated: Both fragrances are herbaceous in nature and likely belong to the category of Paicao Xiang, hence they are appended here.

[Collected Explanations] Chen Cangqi stated: *Guang Zhi* records that it comes from the Western Sea. *Wei Lue* records that it comes from Daqin (Rome).
Li Shizhen stated: During the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei, it was transplanted from the Western Regions into imperial courtyards, where Cao Zhi and others composed poems about it. The general description is that the plant has long stalks and tender stems, fine branches and weak roots. It bears abundant flowers and fruit, remaining unfaded even under severe frost. Upon harvesting, it should be kept in seclusion to fix its scent, removing branches and leaves. When placed in bags for wearing, its fragrance is very intense. Its qi is identical to that of modern Paixiang (Paicao Xiang).
[Properties and Flavor] Acrid, warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Eliminates foul qi, makes clothing fragrant, and burning it repels ghosts (Chen Cangqi).
Anonymous scholar stated: Its nature is neutral and not warm. Combined with Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo) into pills and burned, it repels mosquitoes and flies.

Anonymous scholar stated: It grows in the valleys of Hainan. *Qimin Yaoshu* records: For any trees infested by insects, decocting this fragrance and applying it cold after cooling effectively repels pests.
Li Shizhen stated: *Chu Ci* mentions: "Plotting Liuyi and Jieche." Thus, ancients frequently cultivated it, resembling modern Lanxiang (Orchid Fragrance) and Lingling Xiang (Lingling Fragrance).
[Properties and Flavor] Acrid, warm, non-toxic. Anonymous scholar stated: Slightly cold.
