《本草纲目拾遗》(以下简称《纲目拾遗》)载有“南连”一药,其原植物是什么,迄今未见报道及论述.笔者认为“南连”是蓼科植物酸模(Rumexacetosa L.)的根,现试加以考证. 《纲目拾遗》记载:“(南连)一名土连,浙温台金华山中俱有之.出处州者,名处连.以形大毛轻者好,性较川连尤寒.”又引《百草镜》云:“土黄连,二月发苗,根叶与羊蹄大黄无异,但短小耳.三月抽茎,高有尺许,花细成穗,结实初青后红,子藏棱中,夏至后枯.出浙江者名慈连;安徽宁国府宣城出者粗肥,名宣黄连.”以上记载说明:①南连,又称着土黄连,功效与黄连相似,浙江、安徽都有出产,且随产地不同,名称略有不同.②南连的根叶形态与羊蹄大黄相似,惟叶片较为短小.这些记载与酸 “Supplement to the Outline of Compendium of Materia Medica” (hereinafter referred to as “Supplement to Compendium Outline”) contains the “Nan Lian” medicine. What is the original plant has not been reported or discussed so far. The author believes that “Nan Lian” is a plant model of Lycium (Lumexacetosa L.). The roots of the essay are now being tested. The “Supplement of Outlines” records: “(Nanlian) is a soil company, Zhejiang Wentai is located in Jinhua Mountain. The source states, the name is even. ”They are even colder than Chuan Lian.“ They also quoted the ”Herbal Mirror“: ”Coptis chinensis, sprouted in February, the root leaves are the same as the Rumex rhubarb, but short ears. The stems are drawn in March, the feet are tall, and the flowers are fine , After the beginning of green, red, sub-Tibet edge, withered after the summer solstice. Out of the Zhejiang name Cilian; Anhui Ningguo Xuancheng out of the fat, declared Xuan Huang Lian." The above record notes: 1 Nanlian, also known as the soil Coptis chinensis, similar to Huanglian, is produced in Zhejiang and Anhui, and has a slightly different name with different origins. 2 The root and leaf morphology of Nanlian is similar to Rhubarb, but the leaves are relatively short. These records are related to acid.
