General Information:
It is a small shrub or a woody climber and grows in all parts of India at a low altitude in the shade and in tropical climates. The rootstock has fascicled tuberous roots. Branches are angular, leaves reduced to spinescent scales and 0.4–0.6 mm long. Flowers are white, solitary, clustered in a raceme. The fruit is a sub globose berry with 1–6 smooth black seeds.
The root is dried after harvesting and may be boiled, peeled and cut into pieces. The root is very rich in mucilage and on pulverizing, the powder forms hard lumps by absorbing moisture. In trade there are two varieties, one is pale brown, slightly resinous and said to come from Nepal whilst the other is dirty white, horny, spongy and probably from south India. The Ayurvedic physicians prefer the root from Nepal as it is said to be more effective. The one from Nepal is rarely introduces in commercial market while the other one is greatly popular around the world.
