60 The plants are divided into four groups: vanaspati (bearing fruit without having flowered), vānaspatya (bearing fruit after flowering), oṣadhi (herbs withering after bearing fruit) and vīrudh (climbing plants, etc.) (see Cakra's comments and his quotations from Hārīta). The vanaspati group consists of members of the genus Ficus. Cf. Bhela Śā.5.3; Su.Sū.1.29; A.s.Sū.12.2. Compare also Amarakoṣa 2.4.6; Manusmṛti 1.46–48. See on the term vana and its contrast with aranya: J.F. Sprockhoff (1981), (1984), (1991).
