它的总包形状像倒扣的盆，因此得名。外皮颜色青绿。剥去外皮后，内部细小的种子呈乌红色。五月采收。（李当之）只有五月成熟的。（果实）形状像倒扣的盆，且味道甘美，这才是覆盆子。其余的不堪入药。（陈藏器）蓬蘽与覆盆子，功用相近。虽然是两种植物，其实属于同一类。蓬蘽子在八九月成熟，覆盆子在四五月成熟。颜色都是乌红色，所以能补肾。（李时珍）这类植物共有五种。蓬蘽藤蔓繁衍，茎上有倒刺，逐节生叶，叶子像手掌大，形状类似小葵花，正面青绿色背面白色，浓密且有毛。六七月开小白花，结实成簇，生时青色熟时紫暗色，微有黑毛，形状像成熟的桑葚但较扁，冬季苗叶不凋谢。因为它在深秋成熟，俗称割田藨。覆盆子的蔓比蓬蘽小，也有钩刺，一枝五片叶，叶子小而正反两面都是青色，光滑薄而无毛。开白花，四五月结果成熟，种子也比蓬蘽小且稀疏，生时青色熟时乌红色，冬季苗叶凋谢。因为它在盛夏成熟，伪名插田藨，即《尔雅》中所说的“䕃缺盆”。这两者都可以入药。还有一种蔓如覆盆子，一枝三片叶，即草莓，果实像覆盆子，开黄花。（李时珍）味道甘微酸，（久服）可以长力气。女子食用可以益肾添精，缩小便，止遗浊，治疗鹤膝风，诸般肾虚症状，起到补肾作用。（马志）同黄柏一起制成赞育丸或衍宗丸，治疗男子精少、阳痿，临房不能举阳，或精液清冷等症。
〔论述〕覆盆子和蓬蘽，两种果实相似。只是蓬蘽在深秋成熟，冬季不凋谢；覆盆子在盛夏成熟，冬季凋谢。它们所禀受的阴阳之气不同，功效自然有别。又有人主张生阴补虚，谁适宜服用呢？以及开始使用时的注意事项，参见缪希雍的观点。阳气过强不倒的人，忌服。
〔辨治〕选取上面圆下面平像倒扣盆形状的果实，去掉皮和心，选用细小的乌红色种子且味道甘甜的。用水洗净，晒干后用酒拌润，蒸制。
Its overall shape resembles an inverted basin, hence the name. The skin color is greenish. After peeling off the skin, the inner fine seeds are dark red. Harvested in May. (Li Dangzhi) Only those ripening in May... (The fruit) resembles an inverted basin and has a sweet taste; these are Fupenzi (Rubus chingii). The rest are unsuitable for medicinal use. (Chen Cangqi) Pengli (Rubus hirsutus) and Fupenzi have similar functions. Although they are two different plants, they essentially belong to the same category. Pengli fruits ripen in August and September, while Fupenzi ripens in April and May. Both are dark red in color, thus capable of tonifying the Kidney. (Li Shizhen) There are five types in this category. Pengli vines proliferate, stems have backward-pointing thorns, leaves grow node by node, palmately large, resembling small hibiscus, green on the front and white on the back, dense and hairy. Small white flowers bloom in June and July, bearing clustered fruits that are green when raw and purplish-dark when ripe, with slight black hairs, resembling ripe mulberries but flatter. The seedlings and leaves do not wither in winter. Because it ripens in late autumn, it is commonly known as Gedianbao. Fupenzi vines are smaller than Pengli, also having hooked thorns, with five leaflets per branch. Leaves are small, green on both sides, smooth, thin, and hairless. White flowers bloom, fruits mature in April and May. Seeds are smaller and sparser than Pengli, turning from green to dark red when ripe. Seedlings and leaves wither in winter. Because it ripens in midsummer, it is falsely named Chatianbao, which corresponds to "Yinquepen" mentioned in the Erya. Both can be used medicinally. Another type has vines like Fupenzi, three leaflets per branch, namely Fragaria (Strawberry), fruits resembling Fupenzi, blooming yellow flowers. (Li Shizhen) Taste is sweet and slightly sour. Long-term consumption can increase strength. Women consuming it can benefit the Kidney, augment essence, reduce urination, stop seminal emission/turbid urine, treat Crane-knee Wind (Gonarthrosis), various Kidney deficiency symptoms, and tonify the Kidney. (Ma Zhi) Combined with Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex) to form Zanyu Wan or Yanzong Wan, treating male scanty semen, impotence, inability to erect during intercourse, or cold semen.
[Discussion] Fupenzi and Pengli, the two fruits are similar. However, Pengli ripens in late autumn and does not wither in winter; Fupenzi ripens in midsummer and withers in winter. Their endowment of Yin and Yang qi differs, leading to distinct effects. Furthermore, regarding generating Yin and supplementing deficiency, who is suitable? And precautions at the beginning of use, refer to Miao Xiyong's views. Those with excessive Yang causing persistent erection should avoid taking it.
[Differentiation and Treatment] Select fruits that are round on top and flat on the bottom, resembling an inverted basin. Remove the skin and core. Use fine, dark red seeds with a sweet taste. Wash with water, dry in the sun, mix with wine, and steam.
