Common Name- Brahmi – Yes … Local names
Sans: Nira-brahmi Mar., Tam, Mal: Nirbrhami Beng: Brihmi sag Kan: Nirubrahmi Two other plants by the same local name Brahmi include Centella asiatica and Taxus baccata. They are totally different. – Can you flash another photograph, which is clear..
04032011GS1 for ID from Delhi: – Yes, this is Bacopa monnieri of Scrophulariaceae. ‘Neer brahmi’ in Tamil . Neer brahmi (Bacopa monneiri): One of my innovative herb growers is cultivating Bacopa with Acorus as mixed crops. (Please see attached pictures). I will request him to send fresh plants to you.
In 2005, when I was invited as guest speaker in International Conference organised by Jadhavpur University I got opportunity to meet well known activist Vasudha Joshi. In his terrace garden I found Bramhi plants. Her family consume it daily as Chutney during meals. She informed that it is common in Kolkata families. neer brahhmi as chutney! this tickles me as well as excites me. Try not , I repeat NOT to eat Neer Brahmi Chutney… its done RAW… and neer brahmi needs a lot of mud and muck to grow… human parasite eggs and cysts abound… in “natural” spots from where this brahmi is collected and sold in markets… “human parasite eggs and cysts abound.”
…, in commercial Farming of Medicinal and Aromatic crops we use cow dung and cow urine based Traditional Formulations. Also adopt FFCDS method i.e. Freshly Fermented Cow Dung Solutions just before harvest. My American friends show great surprise when they see the use of animal’s excreta in sacred way. They talk about “human parasite eggs and cysts abound”. They are true to their theories but as you know in India cow dung and urine are in use since time immemorial without any harm like that.
Please write “Eat chutney but collect the plants from clean spots specially in Metros.” Thousands of families are consuming it with different combinations without any harm.
By the way have you ever checked the drinking water supplied to your home by Kolkata municipal corporation? It may also contain “human parasite eggs and cysts abound.” Then you cannot stop or recommend “Try not , I repeat NOT to Drink Water—–!!!!!!!!! Yes you are right… ==
not all the brahmi or any other saag for that matter is from controlled farming… the neer brahmi we have in our markets oftem comes from some little old lady plucking it off of the banks of local pukur… in south 24 paraganas…. our durvaa ghas for daily puja often comes from our own sidewalks where at 4 to 5 am you will find my neighbors walking their dogs… you just imagine what the durvaa ghas is going to be contaminated with…. I think I will go the Maharashtra Nature Park which is nearest to me and If I get the Brahmi, Just in case you need quantity or somebody else need then Maharashtra Nature Park, Mahim nursery keep neer brahmi and few other medicinal plants too. Nursery timing till 4.00 clock but I suggest one should reach by 2.30. nursery is open all days except public holidays. Central suburb Sion is nearest.) This is an aquatic plant and it is better to carry it with sand otherwise within one night, it will get wilt. and may not survive. . Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell: Dr. … took me by surprise.

Names above are mostly reliable when in original script. Names with reference numbers are also reliable, the more ref. the better. Names which should have a scripted match but don’t, and have no ref. number are only there to encourage further searches for reliable scripted names. “Brahmi” is applied to Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. in Northern and Western India but defines Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell in Kerala (Southern India). (ref. McGuffin et al. 2000)
“Mandukaparni” applies to Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell in Northern and Western India but defines Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. in Kerala. (ref. McGuffin et al. 2000).
It is stated on the Maharishi Ayurveda site : “Two main herbs (Herpestis Monniera, Bacopa Monnieri ) go by the name of Brahmi in the ancient Ayurvedic texts. Some experts from The Council of Maharishi Ayurveda Physicians feel that Herpestis Monniera is more authentic and is preferable for mental benefits except where urinary flow, purification, and immunomodulation is desired by the physician.
The other herb that commonly goes by this name is more popularly known in the U.S. as Gotu-Kola, or Centella asiatica, called Mandukaparni.” Unfortunately modern scientists have lumped both plants (Herpestis monniera and Bacopa monnieri), if ever there were 2 distinctive plants involved, in the same bag- i.e. they are considered as synonyms.
I have a plant growing in our balcony. The leaves are very good for memory. I will upload a photo soon. .. in case you wanted to add: Bacopa monnieri:

plantnames.unimelb.edu.au It is not all “gospel”, so please point out the spelling mistakes as well. Finally if you know how to quote the string of postings related to this topic, please let me know. Telugu script is missing in the above link. I am giving Telugu version for the words you used. ” Sambrareni aaku” I dont think is it is a valid word therefore I not posting teugu script for it. Thank you very much for this valuable contribution. “Sambrareni aaku” comes from FRLHT ENVIS which tend to have many versions of the same name (some more correct than others), especially in Tamil. Could it be a spelling error? For example Sambraani aaku? or anything else? . Bacopa monnieri leaf margin : 3 posts by 2 authors. 1. Please check the picture taken in Florida upload.wikimedia.jpg

2. Please check pictures of our site /species/m—z/p/plantaginaceae/bacopa/bacopa-monnieri
Please inform if though the plant is Bacopa monnieri in all above links, the leaf margin of non-indian Bacopa monnieri is dentate.
But leaf margin of Bacopa monnieri cultivated in my home and all the pictures in the links of our efloraofindia has entire margin.
Is this a case always observed?
According to this link, the leaf margin should be entire but rarely it will be dentate.
/species/m—z/p/plantaginaceae/bacopa/bacopa-monnieri
also makes mention that the leaf margin may be dendate (rarely). Thank you so much …, Yes links says so. The query was as –
is there regionwise difference observed in leaf margin of Bacopa monnieri.
I mean to ask that does the Indian Bacopa monnieri has entire leaf margin?
And does the florida Bacopa monnieri has dentate leaf margin?
I had Bacopa monnieri, all leaves had entire leaf margin. Even pictures of our site /species/m—z/p/plantaginaceae/bacopa/bacopa-monnieri which were spotted in India has entire leaf margin.
Just a observation, may be not true as i have observed very few saplings till today.
