561 Sooryalee.--A plant about 6 feet high. I have seen it in Hissar in
abundance; it grows in the rains and spreads over the sides of houses,
its stem is then about an inch in diameter; its branches also thin,
and of a bright red colour; its flowers are beautiful, white and
red; when ripe it in some degree resembles wheat; its flowers are
crooked. It is aphrodisiac.
562 Sirpund.--Aperient; cures general swellings, and disorders of
wind and bile.
