NOTE

"Brahmi" is applied to Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. in Northern and Western India but defines Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell in Kerala (Southern India). (ref. McGuffin et al. 2000)

"Mandukaparni" applies to Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell in Northern and Western India but defines Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. in Kerala. (ref. McGuffin et al. 2000)

The confusion between the various species of Hydrocotyle and Centella is understandable when one looks at the leaves. I have been shown the main difference between the "large-leaved" or "Vietnamese" and the "Australian" or "small-leaved" forms of Hydrocotyle and I am still confused. Presently (2005) my understanding is that the so called "large-leaved" or "Vietnamese" "brahmi" is Hydrocotyle javanica , while the "small-leaved" is applicable to a number of Hydrocotyle species, including Centella asiatica (preferred name) or Hydrocotyle asiatica (recognized synonym).
