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
