I saw Brahmi plant growing in college herbal garden. Brahmi – Bacopa monnieri also called Indian pennywort is a creeping herb found along wetlands under wild conditions or else cultivated as it is used widely in Ayurvedic medicine.
It has anti-oxidant properties and other multiple benefits and believed to be goldmine in medicine. When harvested from the wild, it is important to pluck it from unpolluted sites as it has tendency to absorb heavy metals Small white colour flowers borne in leaf axils Stamens – 4 -didynamous Filaments short and anther lobes considerably longer Pollen appeared oblong, bead- like spheroids, when seen through foldscope
