Uraria picta !

[Vijayasankar Raman]

Uraria picta.

Very important medicinal plants and one of the ten ingredients of the famous Ayurvedic formulation 'Dashamoola Arishtam'. Annual demand (consumption is a ?) of its roots by the Indian drug manufacturing units exceeds 100 metric tonnes. 

Owing to its scarcity in South, other species of Uraria and Pseudarthria viscida are used for the same purpose.
