Description
This is a perennial grass, forming thick mats by means of stolons and rhizomes (Gibbs Russell et al. 1991). The culms (stems) take root at the lower nodes. The leaf blade is flattened with a sharp tip, and is hairy or glabrous (hairless). The leaf sheath is round and glabrous; the ligule has ring of hairs or a short membrane. The inflorescence consists of 3-7 slender spikes up to 60 mm long, arranged terminally on the axis. The spikelets are sessile and without an awn. Flowering time is from March to September.
Uses
Extracted juice of the grass is applied to fresh cuts or injuries for stopping bleeding. Women suffering from execesive uterian bleeding are given fresh juice about 50 cc along with sugar once daily for three days as remedy.
*Decoction of roots is given in dropsy and secondary syphilis. Plant juice is used in injuries, anasarca, hysteria, epilepsy and insanity; also stringent in chronic diarrhoea and dysentery; useful in catarrh of ophthalmia. Rhizome is used in genitor-urinary troubles.
