from herbal Garden Yamunanagar
Family Acanthaceae
Local name- kalmegh Andrographis Paniculata for sure. I have this plant in my house garden. This is a very common plant (wild) in Chennai. Though it is not proved people believe that the plant is a repellent for snakes ! Many people plant this species for this purpose only in Chennai. Attached 2 close ups of flowers of Andrographis paniculata of Acanthaceae family. Though it is not proved that Andrographis paniculata repels snakes, it is used widely in different medicines such as antihepatotoxic, antibiotic, antimalarial, antihepatitic, antithrombogenic, antiinflammatory, etc. vow! good then i shall also be planting this in and near my home More pics from same place

Is this Andrographis paniculata ? – Flora of Madhya Pradesh: Yes it is Andrographis paniculata 🙂 Affirmative. My photographs for comparison are available at this link The flower is quite specific as is the inflorescence branching pattern…to me it looks like a chandelier… I had even made a framed “picture” from one plants’ herbarium sheet as artwork… PLEASE NOTE THE INDIAN NAMES:
Ayurveduic name is Kalmegh, yavatikta, Svetatikta, kalapanatha….FOR ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA…..
whereas Kirata, kirayata is chiretta in colloqiual, and binomial is Swertia chirata…
different plants, different families…. yes, an medicinal plant, leaves very bitter to taste,
