According to textual research, the "Huci" was first recorded in ancient document, Zhenglei Bencao, not "Funiu Hua" recorded in Kaibao Bencao. Therefore, in Li Shizhen's works, Compendium of Materia Medica, incorporating "Huci" into an item of "Funiu Hua" is incorrect. The original plan of "Huci" is Damnacanthus indicus Gaertn. f. from Rubiaceae.
据考证,“虎刺”最早记载于古代文献《证类本草》,而非《开宝本草》中记载的“伏牛花”。因此,李时珍的著作《本草纲目》中将“虎刺”并入“伏牛花”项下是不正确的。“虎刺”原植物为茜草科的虎刺Damnacanthus indicus Gaertn. f. 。
