| Notes: | Label source: A small procumbent woody plant with oblong or lanceolate serrated leaves; peduncles 2 - 5 flowered, opposite to the leaves; capsules linear oblong, nearly terete, rostrate, three celled, about 1/2 inch long. The capsules are clothed with s, imple hairs; they contain a number of small dark brown angular seeds. The plant is very mucilaginous and somewhat astringent; it is valued on this account as a restorative. Hirunkhoree is the name given to it by the country people and means deers hoof;, many of the capsules are in pairs and somewhat resemble the hoof of a deer. In the Bombay shops it is called Bhauphulli, which must not be confused with Bhapulli, the Mahratta name of Pastinaca grandis. | ||||
