This is a ratlier troublesome weed on scrub land, but on the rich scrub land at 
Harvey's Creek I noticed it far more luxuriant than at any other place. However, 
from Dr. Dymock we learn that in India it is considered of some medicinal value. 
He tells us that it is called in Sanskrit Apamalga, or the Washerman, on account of 
the large quantity of alkali contained in its ashes, which are used in the preparation 
of alkaline medicines and caustic pastes. In Western India the juice is applied to 
relieve toothache. The ashes with honey are given to relieve cough, and European 
practitioners in India have established its value as a diuretic. It is pleasant to find 
so troublesome a weed has some redeeming qualities.
