Collection : The drug is collected in autumn and summer, removed from the aerial part and soil, sorted according to size, steamed thoroughly with boiling water and dried.
Description : Maocigu: Irregularly oblate or conical, top gradually protruding, base with rootlet scars, 1.8 - 3 cm long. The swollen part 1 - 2 cm in diameter. External yellowish brown or brown, with longitudinal wrinkles and furrows and exhibiting 2 - 3 slight prominent, ringed nodes with remains of some fusiform fibres derived from the withering and decaying scaly leaves. Texture hard, not easily broken, fracture greyish white or yellowish white, slightly horny.

Top acuminate, the broken tip dish shaped, base swollen and rounded flattened, dented at the middle with 1 - 2 ringed nodes, mostly inclined to one side. Externally yellowish white for the peeled drug and brownish for the unpeeled, smooth with irregular wrinkles. Fracture yellowish, horny and translucent.Identification: Transverse section: Macigu The outer most consisting of a layer of flattened epidermal cells, 2 - 3 layers of sclerenchymatous cells beneath, yellowish. The inner most consisting of large subrounded parenchymatous cells containing mucilage and starch granules. Parenchymatous cells near epidermis containing raphides of calcium oxalate, 70 - 150µm long. Vascular bundles scattered, collateral.Bingqiuzi: Epidermal cells tangentially elongated, starch granules occurring in a small parenchymatous cells, vascular bundle sheath fibres crescent, occasionally double crescent.
Identification :
Processing : Eliminate foreign matter, soak for about 1 hour, soften thoroughly, cut into thin slices and dry, or fry after washing. Pound to pieces before use.
Action : To remove toxic heat, and to dissolve lumps.
