Pl. see the aforesaid page. This akarkara herb is abundantly grows it self as a weed in some areas of Garhon village near Morni. Herb is of great value but the villagers are not familiar with its uses as I personally discussed with them.
There are hundreds of medicinal plants in Morni area , unless identified propery one can not know.
@ Sh. Agarwal- The flowers are very pretty. Will check out the shrub on my next trip.
