Hygrophila auriculata

Hygrophila auriculata (Sanskrit: gokaṇṭa, kokilākṣa) is a herbaceous, medicinal plant in the acanthus family that grows in marshy places and is native to tropical Asia and Africa. In India it is commonly known as kokilaksha or gokulakanta, in Sri Lanka as neeramulli. In Kerala it is called Vayalchulli(വയൽച്ചുളളി). In Ayurveda, its seeds, roots and panchang (pancha = five and ang = parts, i.e. root, flowers, stem, fruits and leaves as ash burnt together) are used as a medication.
