Mr Punjani: Mr RI PATEL in 1971 wrote about Hygrophilia auriculata and I quote from page 222 of his book on Forest Flora of Gujarat state: " A large spiny herb or undershrub; flowers vilolet in axillary clusters. Grows in water logged areas and river beds, Gujarat and Suarashtra. Local names Ekharu, Ikariya and ikro" end quote
