Manjistha Powder: Overview

Manjistha which goes by the scientific name Rubia cordifolia is a type of flowering plant from the coffee family Rubiaceae. Manjistha is an herbaceous branched climber or creeper of evergreen origin that grows up to 10 m. It has thick, long, cylindrical, bark which is red in color and long, slender, quadrangular stems that are sometimes prickly or glabrous. The leaves are ovate or heart shaped, pointed, and arranged in a whorl on the stems. The flowers are very small, greenish white and arranged in a branched cluster. Fertile flowers are followed by small globose berries that are initially green turning in to bluish-black, or reddish-purple as they mature. The fruits usually enclose small globose seeds. Manjistha being a creeper plant chiefly uses tiny hook like structures at the leaves and stems to climb some structure.

The plant is usually found growing in scrub vegetation, moist deciduous forests, forest edges, shrubs, grass slopes, grassland or open, rocky areas, and semi-evergreen forests. It thrives best in well-watered loamy soils. The plant is native to North Africa, Siberia, Greece, Manchuria, China, Japan, India, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sikkim, Tibet and Nepal.
