Sisymbrium loeselii from Srinagar

[taffa...@gmail.com]

Dear Members,

Am posting a few photographs of S.loeselii growing wild on dry land in Srinagar. It is a very common medicinally important weed  and its local Kashmiri name is "Tsari Lashij"  meaning Sparrow's Broom. The compact inflorescense and the seed pods resemble a broom. The seeds of a closely related species S.irio with the Hindi name "Khub Kalan" are important in Unani medicine and supposed to be a  very effective medicine for small pox, measles and all sorts of fevers.
