Fruits & Vegetables Week: RVS-13:
I like the ‘keerai kuzhambu’ made out of these leaves. It tastes good with rice. As you know, it is also a popular medicinal plant used as memory tonic. Known as ‘Vallaarai’ in Tamil. –Indian Pennywort. Called kodangal in Malayalam. We too cook a couple of delicious dishes with it including a curry with buttermilk and coconut.
Fruit & Vegetable Week- Centella asiatica:
Sending photos of Centella asiatica growing in our home. Name : Centella asiatica – This plant is known as Brahmi, can be better clarified if we use the word “Mandukparni” as yet another plant, Bacopa monnieri is also known as Brahmi or Jal-Brahami. I was knowing it since childhood as a brain tonic, but it is used in Chutneys is something new for me. I cannot try even, becoz I haven’t found this plant in my vicinity for the last so many years. -Yes it is known by the name Mandukparni. The chutney made from Mandukparni is very tasty and especially given to children. It is also an hair tonic. -in bengal atleast B monnieri is called “Bhrami“ and C asiatica is called “Thankuni pata”
Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) Week: Centella asiatica from Morni Hills:
Centella asiatica from Morni hills I have uploaded mine from the same place in above post It is also called Hydrocotyle asiatica.
This drug is mainly used in Nervous System and SKIN disorders. It acts as Blood Purifier.
The powder of this drug + Milk acts as Memory Booster.
Sir if you have Hydrocotyle rotundifolia photos please upload that photos. Some times H.rotundifolia is used instead of H.asiatica [ Mentioned in your Classics ].
It is used to make chutneys. What wonderful red flowers, now I’ll have to go see my plants …. dig in a little… to look for the flowers… always wondered but never dared.. since trying to grow them in a pot on the balcony is iffy at best…
wonder if they develop flowers in a pot…

Bengali: ব্রাহ্মী brahmi, থানকুণীপাতা thankuni pata, Yes … of course I’ll add those. Delighted to. I hope others will feed names in other languages. This is what the whole internet community is begging for, not just myself. Thank you very much. I forgot, I had “thanakuni pata” for Centella is this also acceptable ? Do “sak / shak / pata” refer to leaves ? Thanakuni: the way its pronounced… the a after n : not needed, the way its pronounced thankuni it is. Pata is leaves, used/cooked/eaten anyway one likes when buying or collecting.. shak is leaves and stems together in colloquial use… mostly used to denote the vegetable (food) like potential of the greens… “sak” or “shak” means branches and “pata” means leaf. .
Centella: For those interested I have integrated all comments into this page. Please let me know if I have forgotten a comment of yours. It is by no means completed so if you know of a scripted name matching a romanized version of it, please post it on this forum.

Names of Plants in India :: Centella asiatica (L.) Urb.:
This is not the plant which is called Brahmi in Hindi or Sanskrit. Brahmi is Bacopa. Hydrocotylaceae is considered as a synonym of Araliaceae. Under the current taxonomic status Hydrocotylaceae has been demoted to a sub-family level (Hydrocotyloideae) under Araliaceae. I think the Centella asiatica has an indefinite position hence has been simultaneously placed under the Apiaceae & Araliaceae. Now there is another problem, when I check the systematic postion under Wikipedea, I was stunned to see it has been placed under Mackinlayaceae according to APG II System of classification. Mackinlayaceae (formerly Mackinlayoideae) is considered a sub-family under the order Apiales placed in the Euasterids II clade. Based on the phylogenetic tree published Tolweb (see the link below) Mackinlayaceae, Apiaceae, Araliaceae, Pittosporaceae and Myodocarpaceae are indicated by a polytomy which means the phylogentic relation between the families are not well resolved, hopefully in future better molecular studies will help in resolving the problem. I also check with bunch of papers on phylogeny of Apiaceae where it has been clearly stated that Centella has a variable position in the tree based on the different approaches used for the tree construction. I am attching one such papers (see the highlighted lines). both are brahmi… That perception is wrong. In Vedas, one name is for one plant only. But it was misinterpreted. For long people believed Centella to be Brahmi but later they found out the mistake. Many thanks … for clarifying taxonomical status of Centella. via Names in > Sanskrit >
ब्राह्मी brahmi
Please refer the following links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacopa_monnieri http://books.google.co.in/booksq&f=false (page 89) Many many thanks … and … for validating brahmi in Sanskrit in context of Bacopa vs Centella – will amend my notes accordingly. In sanskrit an vedas there are slokas and sometimes these slokas were misinterpreted. For long Centella was considered as Brahmi, then after more research and translation, they realised that it was Bacopa. But due to long usage of the name, sometimes it is still used and also because some people are not aware of these scientific facts. My thoughts in this context will come later when time available.
I will add Illegitimate name for Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. in this page … https://sites.google.com/site/indiannamesofplants/via-names/sanskrit/brahmi-brahmi, as soon as I am ready with appropriate contents for reasoning. I am new to this group and not a botanist basically. Yet with reference to Brahmi It is Synonym for many plants due to similarity of action. Hence Illegitimate name is in-appropriate. Actual name for Hydrocotyle asiatica is mandooka Parni (Bilobed leaf) and for Bacopa is also Brahmi due to its action. To indicate same action the name is used. To indicate structure mandooka parni is used for Hydrocotyle and mathyakshi is used for bacopa. so using proper names at proper usage will solve the confusion. Not declaration of name as Illegitimate . My thinking (was) on same lines. The term “Illegitimate” is applied to the botancial names for many reasons. Some may be, because the same name is available for another plant which was published earlier OR the name was not published properly following ICBN rules. So this term can be used any where logically for similar reasons. Like in case of Brahmi, the name exists for another plant. Many thanks … for this better and proper wording: misinterpreted name. Will make use of this in lieu of illegitimate name. I think there was no rule of one name one plant, in giving Sanskrit names, i think name was given mainly based on character or the action of the plant (medicinal value). Different states have different names so whats wrong in calling Bacopa and Centella as brahmi. no doubt Bacopa is more powerful brain tonic compare to Centella. at the same time its always better to call one plant with one name and one name to one plant. It is very difficult to identify the plants with slokas written in vedas. Which scientists says name brahmi is discarded for Centella?? and WHY???
In Sanskrit there are names which are applied to several plants based on character or Medicinal value of the plant…..
eg. Saptrangi, Sankhpuspi and many more…
and still i cant digest the word illegitimate for common name…. pls explain someone… Have already agreed to not use the word illegitimate – instead would use misinterpreted. Sorry to differ with respect mandooka parni. it refers to leaf not to plant property. As there are different name for properties. I don’t claim to be expert, but done some work on this line.

Also about the note regarding several plants sharing the name, I will leave it to search the blog for the other plants to show up among search results. I have started avoiding including other plants in the same blog that share a name; it saves my time considerably.

Thanks … Are there any clinching features? Would appreciate opinion from other experts as well.
I will go for Centella asiatica as leaf texture is much different in Merremia emarginata as per images herein. I think Centella asiatica is correct although in very moist conditions Merremia leaf texture can be very flat and less wrinkled than in the link provided.
Thank you … for concluding on the ID. Will post fresh pics after I visit the place again.
