Tilaparni, Cleome viscosa

Tilaparni, is an erect, branched, annual plant with sticky leaves; it can grow 40 - 150cm tall. The plant is gathered from the wild for local use as a food and medicine. The plant is occasionally cultivated in India, where it is gaining in popularity as a low-cost substitute for cumin. Its cultivation is promoted for degraded or marginal agricultural land where it can be cultivated with less difficulty than traditional crops
