Source: WorldCat: Rāj nighaṇṭuĀdityapatra (आदित्यपत्र) is the Sanskrit name for a medicinal plant possibly identified with Helianthus annuus Linn. or “common sunflower” from the Asteraceae or “aster” family of flowering plants, according to verse 4.173-174 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. Note: The identification problem remains, since Narhari describes Ādityapatra and Ādityabhaktā separately. [...] This whole exercise requires a fresh approach by the scholars.
Ādityapatra is mentioned as having ten synonyms: Arkadala, Arkapatra, Sūkṣmapatra, Tapanacchada, Kuṣṭhāri, Arka, Viṭapa, Supatra, Ravipriya and Raśmipati.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
