''Dasapushpam'' denotes ''Ten Sacred Flowers of Kerala'' (from Sanskrit Dasa = Ten and Pushpam = Flower). These ten herbs are traditionally significant to Keralites, the people of Kerala. These herbs are found almost everywhere in Kerala, especially in the western ghats region. They are used for decorative purposes, such as making the floral carpet Pookalam during festivals (like Onam).〔http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/athappookalam-losing-traditional-verve/article173569.ece〕 ==List of Dasapushpam or Ten Sacred Flowers== The ten plants are:〔 * ''Evolvulus alsinoides'' 〔(evolvulus alsinoides )〕 (Malayalam വിഷ്ണുക്രാന്തി - vishnukranthi) * ''Cynodon dactylon'' (ml കറുക - karuka) * ''Emilia sonchifolia'' (ml മുയൽ ചെവിയൻ - muyal cheviyan) * ''Ipomoea sepiaria'' 〔(Ipomoea sepiaria )〕 (ml തിരുതാളി - thruthaali) * ''Aerva lanata'' (ml ചെറുള - cheroola) * ''Curculigo orchioides'' (ml നിലപ്പന - nilappana) * ''Eclipta alba'' (ml കയ്യോന്നി - kayyonni) * ''Cyanthillium cinereum'' 〔(Cyanthillium cinereum )〕 (ml പൂവാംകുറുന്നില - poovaamkurunnila) * ''Biophytum sensitivum'' (ml മുക്കുറ്റി - mukkutti) * ''Cardiospermum halicacabum'' (ml ഉഴിഞ്ഞ - uzhinja) Although these names refer to the flowers, the medicinal value lies in the leaves in most cases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dasapushpam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
