Pls help ID : herb with curious fruit from hills nr Bangalore AS-Apr-2 -2 : 7 posts by 3 authors. 2 images. Slender herb about 2.5 ft high, flowers are not clear but the fruit is curious looking.
Growing wild on Nandi Betta hills Bangalore. (4800 ft )
Please help ID;
capsella sp. eg shepherd’s purse Thank you for this id;
It does not have any local vernacular names apparently, and is listed as exotic. Must be well established on the hills, seeing the reports on EFI.
Capsella bursa-pastoris, commonest weed in hills of India and temperate zone of the World. …, the one I know when I was 5 years old and would go out in field to harvest rosettes of leaves of “Kral Mond” (Capsella burpa-pastoris), “Hund” (Taraxacum officinale), “Batti” (Cichorium intybus), and cook as delicious vegetable. Thank you for the local names (i surmise they would be Kashmiri dialect names ) for these three herbs… shepherd’s purse is included in many herb walks in north east USA, favored to heal cystitis and uterine bleeds. I have eaten all three very often in spring as greens in salad without thinking of their herbal properties, but the dandelion is definitively good for liver and in fall pulling up the long tap root of dandelion to dry, and keep for various uses … along with burdock roots ((both roots are also available in organic green groceries next time you may wish to look them up and eat in soups or thin soupy daal at home good for the liver))
and Cichorium intybus as wild flowers … later in fall to dig up the roots roasting and used as chikory to add to coffee to miimic the french coffee mixes I grew up with in eastern India…
and of course eating endives … a form of cultivated chikory… Cichorium intybus… binomial is the same but it looks and tastes completely different..
just discovered that wiki has a nice page:
... so you are this greenearth?
… just gave us some local names
Thanks for the replies….. so much more info along with the ID. Traditional practices are being lost, even as it becomes easier to access and share knowledge.
I did look up endive; Amazed to know that endives, Cichorium endiva, are related to chicory C.intybus. But a different species.
do not know how to address you.. so simply a … it is.. what you looked up and you got it right as endive is really what is called curly endive …its really written as Chicorium endivia
there is an i in the spelling Chicory no matter how grown and what they look like are important herbs for liver and the nervous system.
better to include them in food habits Pictures taken on 24th April in Srinagar.
Is this Garden Cress?
Kindly validate.
no. the fruit capsule is different… look at the shape and the thickness. its capsella a shepard’s purse. what would also help is to look at the leaves esp the lowest ground hugging rosette
