Lindenbergia indica Vatke: Past, Present Status and Future Perspectives | Chapter 6 | Cutting Edge Research in Biology Vol. 7

 Lindenbergia indica Vatke belongs to offspring Scrophulariaceae, is a non-parasitic edible part of plant from the Himalayas and other parts of the planet. It is an erect, tufted, dangerous annual herb, accompanying glandular hairy, much separate, purple colored stem.
