时珍曰∶ 字韵书不载，惟孙 《唐韵》莎字注云∶树似桄榔。则 字当作莎衣之莎。
其叶离披如莎衣之状，故谓之莎也。张勃《吴录·地理志》言，交趾 木，皮中有白粉如米
屑，干之捣末，以水淋过似面，可作饼食者，即此木也。后人讹 为莎，音相近尔。杨慎《卮
言》乃谓 木即桄榔，误矣。按左思《吴都赋》云∶面有桄榔。又曰∶文、 、桢、 ，既
是一物，不应两用矣。
【集解】 曰∶按∶《蜀记》
云∶ 木生南中八郡。树高十许丈，阔四、五围。峰头生叶，两边行列如飞鸟翼。皮中
有白面石许，捣筛作饼，或磨屑作饭食之，彼人呼为 面，轻滑美好，胜于桄榔面也。
藏器曰∶ 木生岭南山谷。大者木皮内出面数斛，色黄白。
时珍曰∶按∶刘欣期《交州记》云∶都勾树似棕榈，木中出屑如桄榔面，可作饼饵。恐
此即 木也。

（《纲目》）
【释名】曩伽结。
时珍曰∶波罗蜜，梵语也。因此果味甘，故借名之。安南人名曩枷结，波斯人名婆那娑，
拂林人名阿萨 ，皆一物也。
【集解】时珍曰∶波罗蜜生交趾、南邦诸国，今岭南、滇南亦有之。
树高五、六丈，树类冬青而黑润倍之。叶极光净，冬夏不凋。树至斗大方结实，不花而
实，出于枝间，多者十数枚，少者五、六枚，大如冬瓜，外有浓皮裹之，若栗球，上有软刺
。五、六月熟时，颗重五、六斤，剥去外皮壳，内肉层叠如橘囊，食之味至甜美如蜜，
香气满室。一实凡数百核，核大如枣。其中仁如栗黄，煮炒食之甚佳。果中之大者，惟此与
椰子而已。

【主治】止渴解烦，醒酒益气，令人悦泽（时珍）。

李时珍说：这个字在韵书中没有记载，只有孙愐的《唐韵》在“莎”字下注释说：“树像桄榔。”那么这个字应当写作“莎衣之莎”。它的叶子散开像莎衣的样子，所以叫它莎。张勃《吴录·地理志》说，交趾的波罗蜜树，皮中有白粉像米屑，晒干后捣成末，用水淋过像面粉一样，可以做饼吃，就是这种树。后人误写为“莎”，只是读音相近罢了。杨慎《卮言》却说波罗蜜就是桄榔，这是错误的。查左思《吴都赋》说：“面有桄榔。”又说：“文、波罗蜜、桢、波罗蜜，既然是同一种东西，不应该重复使用两个名字了。”
【集解】苏颂说：按《蜀记》说：波罗蜜树生在南方八郡。树高十丈左右，树干宽四、五围。树梢生叶，两边排列像飞鸟的翅膀。树皮中有白面粉许，捣碎筛细做成饼，或者磨成屑做饭吃，当地人叫它波罗蜜面，轻滑美味，胜过桄榔面。
陈藏器说：波罗蜜树生在岭南山谷。大的树皮下出粉几斛，颜色黄白。
李时珍说：按刘欣期《交州记》说：都勾树像棕榈，木中出屑像桄榔面，可以做饼饵。恐怕这就是波罗蜜树。
波罗蜜面
【气味】甘，平、温，无毒。
【主治】补益虚冷，消食（李时珍）。
温补。久吃不饿，长生（陈藏器）。
（《本草纲目》）
【释名】曩伽结。
李时珍说：波罗蜜是梵语。因为这个果实味道甜，所以借用来命名。安南人叫它曩枷结，波斯人叫它婆那娑，拂林人叫它阿萨，都是同一种东西。
【集解】李时珍说：波罗蜜生在交趾、南邦等国，现在岭南、滇南也有。
树高五六丈，树类冬青但更黑润。叶子极光亮洁净，冬夏不凋落。树长到斗大才结果，不开花而结果，长在枝间，多的十几个，少的五六个，大如冬瓜，外面有厚皮包裹，像栗球，上面有软刺。五六月成熟时，每个重五六斤，剥去外皮壳，里面肉层叠像橘囊，吃起来味道甜美如蜜，香气充满房间。一个果实几百个核，核大如枣。其中仁像栗子黄，煮炒着吃很好。水果中最大的，只有这个和椰子而已。

[Names] Poluo Mi (Sound: xiang).
Li Shizhen said: This character is not recorded in rhyme books. Only Sun Mian's *Tang Yun* notes under the character "Sha" saying: "The tree resembles Arenga pinnata." Therefore, this character should be written as "Sha" of "Sha Yi" (sedge cloth). Its leaves spread out like the shape of sedge cloth, hence called Sha. Zhang Bo's *Wu Lu · Geography Record* states that the Poluo Mi tree in Jiaozhi has white powder in its bark like rice bran; when dried and pounded into powder, then leached with water, it resembles flour and can be made into cakes for eating. This is exactly this tree. Later people erroneously wrote it as "Sha", merely because the pronunciation is similar. Yang Shen's *Zhi Yan* claimed that Poluo Mi is Arenga pinnata, which is incorrect. According to Zuo Si's *Wu Du Fu*: "There is Arenga pinnata flour." It also says: "Wen, Poluo Mi, Zhen, Poluo Mi are all one thing; they should not be used twice."
[Collection of Explanations] Su Song said: According to *Shu Ji*, the Poluo Mi tree grows in eight commanderies in the south. The tree is about ten zhang high, with a trunk circumference of four or five wei. Leaves grow at the top, arranged on both sides like bird wings. There is white flour-like substance in the bark, which is pounded, sifted into cakes, or ground into crumbs for making rice. Locals call it Poluo Mi flour, which is light, smooth, and delicious, superior to Arenga pinnata flour.
Chen Cangqi said: The Poluo Mi tree grows in valleys in Lingnan. In larger trees, several hu of powder can be obtained from inside the bark, yellowish-white in color.
Li Shizhen said: According to Liu Xinqi's *Jiaozhou Ji*, the Dougou tree resembles palm, and powder comes from the wood like Arenga pinnata flour, which can be made into cakes. I suspect this is the Poluo Mi tree.
Poluo Mi Flour
[Properties and Flavor] Sweet, neutral/warm, non-toxic.
[Indications] Tonifies deficiency and cold, aids digestion (Li Shizhen).
Warmly tonifying. Long-term consumption prevents hunger and promotes longevity (Chen Cangqi).
(*Bencao Gangmu*)
[Names] Nang Jie.
Li Shizhen said: "Poluo Mi" is a Sanskrit term. It was borrowed as a name because the fruit is sweet. People in Annam call it Nang Jia Jie, Persians call it Po Na Suo, and Europeans (Fulin) call it A Sa, all referring to the same thing.
[Collection of Explanations] Li Shizhen said: Poluo Mi grows in Jiaozhi, Nanbang, and other countries. It is now also found in Lingnan and southern Yunnan.
The tree is five or six zhang high, resembling Ilex cornuta but darker and glossier. The leaves are extremely smooth and clean, remaining evergreen throughout winter and summer. The tree bears fruit only when the trunk reaches the size of a dou. It fruits without flowering, bearing fruit among the branches. There may be more than ten or fewer than five or six fruits per tree. They are as large as winter melons, wrapped in thick skin resembling a chestnut burr with soft spines. When ripe in May or June, each weighs five or six jin. After peeling off the outer shell, the inner flesh is layered like orange segments. It tastes extremely sweet like honey, filling the room with fragrance. Each fruit contains hundreds of seeds, as large as dates. The kernels inside resemble yellow chestnuts and are excellent when boiled or roasted. Among fruits, only this and the coconut are the largest.
Pulp
[Properties and Flavor] Sweet, fragrant, slightly sour, neutral, non-toxic.
[Indications] Quenches thirst, relieves irritability, revives from intoxication, benefits qi, and enhances complexion/luster (Li Shizhen).
Kernel within the Seed
[Properties and Flavor] Same as pulp.
[Indications] Tonifies the middle jiao and benefits qi, prevents hunger and promotes lightness/agility (Li Shizhen).
