现在出产于附近道路所至之地，一茎生出细叶，花呈红紫赤色，令人喜爱，合子叶一起收割。种子颇像麦子，所以名叫瞿麦。这类药材实际上有两种：一种稍大，花边有分叉，不知哪一种是正品？现在市场上都用小的那种。另一种，叶子宽大相似但有毛，花是空壳，不再结籽了。（《大观本草》卷八，《政和本草》二○二页）

[Qumai (Dianthus superbus)]
Bitter and acrid in flavor, cold in nature, non-toxic. It governs guan-ge (a syndrome characterized by urinary retention accompanied by vomiting) and various long-jie (urinary difficulty or obstruction), urinary blockage, expels thorns/spicules, resolves carbuncles and swellings, brightens the eyes and removes nebulae, breaks blood stasis to induce abortion, discharges obstructed blood, nourishes Kidney Qi, drives away pathogenic rebellion in the Bladder, stops cholera-like disorders, and promotes hair growth. Also known as Juju Mai, Daju, and Dalan. Grows in the mountains and valleys of Mount Tai. The fruits are harvested at Start of Autumn and dried in the shade. (Caoban [likely a typo for a specific herb or general term] and Mudan [Paeonia suffruticosa] act as its assistants; it is incompatible with Sangpiaoxiao [Mantis Egg Case].)
It is now produced in regions accessible by nearby roads. It has a single stem bearing fine leaves, with flowers that are red-purple and attractive. The whole plant including the seed-bearing leaves is cut and harvested. The seeds somewhat resemble wheat, hence the name Qumai. This category actually comprises two types: one type is slightly larger, with flower edges having forks/branches; it is unknown which is the authentic one. Currently, the market uses the smaller variety. Another type has broad leaves similar to the first but hairy, with hollow flowers that produce no seeds. (Da Guan Ben Cao Vol. 8, Zheng He Ben Cao p. 202)
[Baijiang (Patrinia scabiosifolia)]
Bitter and salty in flavor, neutral and slightly cold in nature, non-toxic. It governs sudden heat, fire sores with redness, scabies and pruritus, abscesses and hemorrhoids, and "saddle horse heat" (heat toxicity caused by riding). It eliminates carbuncles and swellings, edema, clustered heat, wind-bi, deficiency, and postpartum abdominal pain. Also known as Luchang, Lushou, Macao, and Ze Bai. Grows in the mountains and valleys of Jiangxia. The roots are harvested in August and sun-dried.
It is produced in regions accessible by nearby roads. The leaves resemble [text missing], the root shape resembles Zihu [Bupleuri Radix], and the odor resembles spoiled bean paste, hence the name. (Da Guan Ben Cao Vol. 8, Zheng He Ben Cao p. 210)
[Qinpi (Fraxini Cortex)]
Bitter in flavor, slightly cold and very cold in nature, non-toxic. It governs wind-cold-damp bi-syndrome, shivering chills, clears heat, and treats green nebulae and white membranes in the eyes. It treats male oligospermia, female leukorrhea, pediatric epilepsy, and febrile conditions. It can be prepared as an eye-washing decoction. Long-term consumption prevents graying of hair, lightens the body, makes the skin lustrous, promotes robust physique, and facilitates conception. Also known as Cenpi and Shitan. Grows in the mountains and valleys of Lujiang and Wanqu. The bark is harvested in February and August and dried in the shade. (Daji [Euphorbia pekinensis] acts as its assistant; it is incompatible with Wuzhuyu [Evodiae Fructus].) Some claim it is Fanpi [Celtis cortex]; when soaked in water and used with ink, the written color does not fade, and the peeled layer is thin, which seems unlikely. In popular prescriptions, it is primarily used to treat eye diseases...
