Abstract
It is an important constituent of well-known Ayurvedic drug “Dasmula” and “Arkadhi”. All plant parts are used in Ayurveda. The plant is very prickly diffuse, procumbent, often becomes perennial reaching a spread of a meter or so under luxuries conditions. The tap root may be very extensive in a plant, which has only few leaves. Three types of flower bearing plants, i.e. dark purple, light purple and white were observed, which differs in their density and colour. The density of white-flowered plants is very low and rarely found in natural habitats. In the present studies, it was observed that seeds of S. surattense when sown at 0.5 cm depth with 2:2:1 soil ratios of sand:clay: FYM, showed maximum seedling emergence and plant growth under nursery conditions.
