There are short pieces of information on certain medicinal substances which cannot be put into any of the above groups. This is because of several reasons: the exact identity or useful part of the plant is not known, all the parts of a plant can be utilised, or various plant parts are named in a given list.

The following provides such data:

Dharmaguptaka:—“At that time [there was] a sick monk. The physician instructed [him] to take the medicine of zhiduoluo 质多罗藥 (castor oil seed/plant, colocynth bitter apple, or white leadwort?).^[1] The Buddha said: ‘A sick monk with a reason is allowed to use [it] till the end of his life.’”^[2]

“At that time there was a sick monk. The physician instructed [him] to consume the medicine of mustard plant. The Buddha said: ‘A sick monk is allowed to consume it. Mustard plant is the root, stem, leaf, flower, [and] fruit–in this way [anything that is] firm. So is drumstick tree [and] so is ditu (Indian persimmon?).’”^[3]

“Here, the monks in the country Jiamoluo 迦摩羅 (碍ā濒ā尘补?) received such medicines [which were for use] in the duration of one’s life: jasmine, large jasmine, almond, doudoulou 兜兜漏 (thorn apple?), [and] qindililiao 秦敌梨蓼 (garden cress?).”^[4]

惭补丑ī?ā蝉补办补:— “The Buddha said: ‘All grass-medicines are allowed for consumption.’”^[5]

厂补谤惫ā蝉迟颈惫ā诲补:—“The physician said: ‘Should eat things from the pond.’ … The Buddha said: ‘… What are the things from the pond? [Things] such as lotus root, lotus seed, water chestnut, [and] seed of fox nut plant. Such various things from the pond are allowed for eating.’”^[6]

惭补丑ā蝉ā?驳丑颈办补:—“... except the dregs [from making] rock sugar, all remaining earth.” ^[7]
