Rotula aquatica is a species of aromatic flowering shrub in the borage family, Boraginaceae.
It is a rare rheophyte native to India, where it is a member of the lotic ecosystem of streams.[1]

The plant is a mandatory component of many ayurvedic drug preparations and is an important traditional medicine for kidney and bladder stones. The root tuber is astringent, bitter, diuretic and also useful in treating coughs, heart diseases, dysuria, blood disorders, fever, poisonings, ulcers and uterine diseases.[2] Root decoctions are both diuretic and laxative and are used to treat bladder stones and sexually transmitted diseases.[3] Plants were exploited for their medicinal properties by excavating the roots, causing them to die.

Similar to but distinctly different too, almost as small as the brahmi leaves
love the mauve colored flowers and the berry is nice (never seen it in brahmi so far myself)

It looks like Rotula aquatica. All the plants I have seen have pale purple coloured flowers.


‘..have pale purple coloured flowers.’
Agree … Right time of the year too.
However, all specimens I have seen are hairy all over.


Thank you ma’am and thank you sir.
I also found pale purple coloured variants of the same growing by this one’s side.
Please see efi thread
