Araṇyavāsinī (अरण्यवासिनी) is another name for Atyamlaparṇī, an unidentified medicinal plant, according to verse 3.130-131 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. The third chapter (guḍūcyādi-varga) of this book contains climbers and creepers (vīrudh). Vaidyaka Śabda Sindhu equates Atyamlaparṇī with Amlaloṇī (Cāṅgerī) Oxalis corniculata Linn. (also known as creeping woodsorrel or sleeping beauty) but Chopra identifies Cāṅgerī as Rumex dentatus Linn. Together with the names Araṇyavāsinī and Atyamlaparṇī, there are a total of twenty-one Sanskrit synonyms identified for this plant.
