味苦寒。主骨间诸痹。四肢拘挛。疼酸。膝寒痛。阴痿。短气不足。脚肿。生川谷。
蒴 敷华。萧秋启候。五叶缠枝。百枚贮豆。水节清肥。木心虚秀。粲兮三英。骨风效
奏。
苏恭曰。此即蒴 也。古方惟言。陆英后人不识耳。苏颂曰。尔雅荣而不实。谓之英。

初青。如绿豆颗。每朵如盏而大。生一二百子。苏恭曰。此叶似芹。及接骨花三物。亦同类
芹。名水英。接骨名木英树。此三英也。水英根叶肥大。主治骨风。木英体轻虚无心。续筋

诗。
终朝采绿。不盈一掬即此。草本绿色可染黄。名医曰。染作金色。汉书注。诸侯 绶。 草
似艾可染。因以名绶。苏恭曰。生青衣川谷。青衣县。在益州西。掌禹锡曰。即绿蓐草也。
今呼为鸱脚莎。诗云。绿竹猗猗是也。资暇集。绿竹王刍也。今为辞赋。皆引猗猗。入竹事
大误。
【陆英】
味苦，性寒。主治骨骼关节间的各种痹证。四肢拘急挛缩。疼痛酸楚。膝盖寒冷疼痛。阳痿。气短乏力。脚部肿胀。生长于山川河谷之中。
蒴藋花开繁盛。萧瑟秋意中时节已至。五片叶子缠绕在枝条上。结出上百颗如豆子般的果实。茎节处清澈肥厚。木质中心空虚秀丽。花朵灿烂鲜明如同三朵白花。对于骨风（风寒湿邪侵袭骨骼）疗效显著。
苏恭说：这就是蒴藋。古代医方只称它为“陆英”，后人不再认识它了。苏颂说：《尔雅》中说，开花而不结果实的称为“英”。这种植物以“英”为名，指的应该是它的花。名医说适宜在秋季采摘，正是它开花的时节。李时珍说：每枝上有五片叶子。寇宗奭说：果实初生时呈青色，像绿豆颗粒大小。每朵花像盏口那么大，能结出一二百颗种子。苏恭说：这种叶子形状像芹菜，以及接骨花这三种，也是同类的芹菜，名叫水英。接骨木名叫木英树。这三种都叫“英”。水英的根叶肥大，主治骨风；木英质地轻虚无心材，能接续筋骨，祛除风痹。《诗经》说：“三英粲兮”。
【荩草】
味苦，性平。主治久咳不止。肺气上逆气喘。长期受寒引起的惊悸。疮痂疥癣。白秃疮。疡气（皮肤疮疡之气）。杀灭皮肤上的小虫。生长于山川河谷之中。
王刍作为贡草进献。尽忠之臣的美名流传。捧起满把绿色采撷。染色后变为金色姿态。佩戴下垂的绶带。在谷访中寻找青衣。莎草被呼为鸱脚。竹子被误认为猗猗。
《尔雅》记载：绿王刍。李时珍说：古时候进贡的草，供染匠使用，所以称为“王刍”。而竭尽忠诚的人，被称为“荩臣”。《诗经》说：“终朝采绿，不盈一掬”，指的就是这种草。草本植物呈绿色，可以染成黄色。名医说，染出来是金色。《汉书注》记载：诸侯佩戴的绶带，用荩草类似艾草的部分染色，因此命名为绶。苏恭说：生长在青衣川谷。青衣县位于益州西部。掌禹锡说：就是绿蓐草。现在称为鸱脚莎。《诗经》说：“绿竹猗猗”就是这个意思。《资暇集》说：绿竹即王刍。现在的辞赋文章，都引用“猗猗”来形容竹子，这是很大的错误。
[Luying (Euphorbia lathyris)]
Bitter, cold. Primarily treats various Bi syndromes (obstruction syndromes characterized by pain and stiffness) in the bones and joints. Limb contracture and spasms. Pain and soreness. Cold pain in the knees. Impotence. Shortness of breath and deficiency. Foot edema. Grows in mountains and valleys.
The flowers of Shu Die (Fatsia japonica or similar plant contextually linked here) bloom profusely. The autumn season arrives with a bleak atmosphere. Five leaves wind around the branches. Hundreds of bean-like seeds are stored within. The stem nodes are clear and plump. The woody center is hollow and elegant. The flowers shine brilliantly like three white blooms. It achieves efficacy for Gu Feng (bone wind, referring to wind-cold-damp pathogenic factors affecting the bones).
Su Gong stated: This is indeed Shu Die. Ancient prescriptions only referred to it as "Luying," which later generations failed to recognize. Su Song stated: According to *Erya*, that which flowers but does not bear fruit is called "Ying" (flower/brilliance). This plant bears the name "Ying," likely referring to its flower. Famous physicians stated it should be harvested in autumn, which is precisely when it flowers. Li Shizhen stated: Each branch has five leaves. Kou Zongshi stated: The young fruits are green, the size of mung beans. Each flower is as large as a small cup, producing one or two hundred seeds. Su Gong stated: The leaves resemble those of celery. These three—Jiegu Hua (Adenophora flower), Jiegu Mu (Adenophora tree), and this one—are also related to celery, named Shui Ying (Water Ying). Jiegu Mu is named Muying Tree. These three are collectively called "Ying." Shui Ying has thick roots and leaves, primarily treating bone wind; Muying is light in texture and hollow in the center, capable of knitting sinews and bones, and dispelling wind-Bi. The *Classic of Poetry* states: "The three flowers shine brightly."
[Jincao (Arthraxon hispidus / Green Grass)]
Bitter, neutral. Primarily treats chronic cough. Asthma and rebellious Qi rising upward. Palpitations and fright caused by long-standing cold. Scabies and crusts. Tinea capitis (white baldness). Yang Qi disorders (skin ulceration issues). Kills small insects on the skin. Grows in mountains and valleys.
Wang Chu (Green Plantain/Wheatgrass) offered as tribute grass. The reputation of the loyal Jin minister endures. Cupping full handfuls of green harvest. Dyeing transforms it into golden appearance. Wearing the hanging ribbon (Shou). Visiting Qingyi Valley. Sedge is called Chi Jiao (Owl's foot). Bamboo is mistakenly described as Yi Yi (lush).
According to *Erya*: Lv Wang Chu (Green King Plantain). Li Shizhen stated: In ancient times, this was offered as tribute grass for dyers, hence called "Wang Chu" (King Plantain). Those who exhaust their loyalty are called "Jin Chen" (Loyal Minister). The *Classic of Poetry* states: "Gathering green all morning, not filling a handful," referring to this herb. The herbaceous plant is green and can dye yellow. Famous physicians stated it dyes gold. The *Commentary on Book of Han* records: The ribbons worn by feudal lords were dyed using Jin Cao, which resembles mugwort, thus named "Shou" (ribbon). Su Gong stated: It grows in Qingyi Mountains and Valleys. Qingyi County is located west of Yizhou. Zhang Yuxi stated: It is the Lv Ru Cao (Green Mat Grass). Now called Chi Jiao Sha (Owl-foot Sedge). The *Classic of Poetry* says: "Green bamboo is lush," which refers to this. *Zixia Ji* states: Green bamboo is actually Wang Chu. Modern literary works all cite "Yi Yi" in the context of bamboo, which is a significant error.
