ANACYCLUS PYRETHRUM, DC. Pellitory root was unknown to the ancient Hindus. In later compilations as Sárangadhara and the Bhávaprakása it is occasionally mentioned under the name of Akarákarava, and is used as an ingredient of compound prescriptions, as for example in the Akarádi churna described under opium.
