Note* There is a fair amount of Ayurvedic debate as to whether Bacopa monnieri or Centella asiatica is the real Brahmi. According to The Ayurvedic Formulary of India Bacopa is Brahmi and Centella is Mandukaparni. There seems to be some discrepancy in the texts but both Sushruta and Astanga Hridaya, as well as Bhavaprakasha, state that the two are different plants but have the same medhya or mind enhancing activity.
