| Notes: | Label source: Local name Chota Chirayta - A very delicate little plant, from 4 to 10 inches high, appearing in cultivated ground after the rains. This year, owing to want of rain, it is very scarce. The root is small and fibrous, sparingly branched ; t, he stem quadrangular and winged ; lower leaves obovate-oblong, obtuse, those on the stem linear-acuminate ; cymes dichotomous ; flowers bright pink, starlike ; capsules oblong, mucronate, 1/4 of an inch long, dehiscing, 2 celled, covered by the long sepa, ls, and the inflated silver-paper-like tube ofthe corolla. The plant is a good bitter, and may be found useful occasionally when Chiretta is scarce or dear, but from its small size, it is not likely to compete with that drug as a commercial article.
