有茗、苦荼。又引《尔雅》，疑此误矣。

秦皮条目下苏恭注云：檀香树皮类似秦皮。考证檀树，取其树皮与榆树皮混合食用，可以断绝五谷饮食。《尔雅》记载：檀，即苦荼。其叶子可以用来泡茶饮用，树体细小，可以做斧柄，到了夏天有不落叶的现象，忽然叶子开放，预示将有洪水，农民观察它来预测水旱灾害，称为水檀。又有一种，叶子像檀树，高五、六尺。生长在高原，四月开花，花色正紫，也叫檀，根部像葛根，极能治疗疮疥，杀虫，有小毒。《尔雅》中没有“檀，苦荼”这一条，只说了“槚，苦荼”，郭璞注释说：树小像栀子树，冬天生叶，可以煮作羹汤。现在早采的叫荼，晚采的叫茗。又名菽。蜀人称之为苦荼，前面已经提到过茗、苦荼。又引用《尔雅》，怀疑此处有误。

Mainly treats Yangfeng (a stubborn skin disease). Take a handful of the material, remove the black parts on top, crush it, and decoct it until viscous like sugar. Apply to the affected area. Zhimu resembles Shanmu (Cunninghamia lanceolata). It grows in deep mountains in Jiangnan.

Under the entry for Qinpi, Su Gong's annotation says: Tanpi (bark of Tan tree) resembles Qinpi. Investigating the Tan tree, its bark can be taken and mixed with Yu pi (elm bark) for consumption to achieve Dugu (fasting/abstaining from grains). The *Erya* states: Tan is Kutu (bitter tea). Its leaves are suitable for making drinks; the tree is slender and suitable for making axe handles. In summer, some do not shed leaves; suddenly leaves open, predicting major floods. Farmers observe this to predict water or drought disasters, calling it Shuitan. Another variety has leaves like Tan, five to six chi high. Grows on plateaus, flowers in April, pure purple color, also named Tan. Roots resemble Ge (Kudzu), extremely effective for treating Chuangjie (sores and scabies), killing parasites, slightly toxic. The *Erya* does not have "Tan, Kutu," only stating "Jia, Kutu." Guo Pu's annotation says: Tree small like Zhizi (Gardenia), winter evergreen leaves, can be boiled into soup. Early harvested is called Tu, late harvested is called Ming. Also named Shu. Shu people call it Kutu; Ming and Kutu were already mentioned above. Citing the *Erya* again suggests an error here.
Under the entry for Luanjing, Su Gong's annotation says: One should use Luanjing, not this. Investigating Shijing resembles Jing (thorny shrub) but smaller. Grows near water; ash juice washes the head to promote hair growth. The *Guangji Fang* states: Also known as Shuijing. Its main function is promoting long hair.
Under the entry for Loulu, Tao Hongjing's annotation says: Loulu is also named Luli. People in southern mountains use the seedlings; people in northern mountains use the roots. The efficacy is recorded in the *Benjing*. Muli Lu is toxic. It is not Loulu. The tree grows like Zhuyu (Cornus officinalis), three chi high, toxic. Kills parasites; mountain people use it for Chuangjie.
Under the entry for Kucai, Tao Hongjing's annotation says: There is also Zhaolu mu resembling Ming (tea). Taking leaves to decoct and drink causes sleeplessness all night. Investigation shows this tree is also named Gaolu. Leaves are large like tea, bitter and astringent. Southerners boil it as a drink to quench thirst, brighten eyes, relieve restlessness, cause sleeplessness, resolve phlegm, and mix with water to use as tea. The *Guangzhou Ji* states: Xinping County produces Gaolu, leaves are large and astringent. The *Nanyue Zhi* states: Longchuan County has Gaolu, leaves resemble tea, locals call it Guoluo.
