Clerodendrum phlomidis (identified with Tarkārī) is used by certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “A tree gets destroyed if it is besmeared with the salty water extract of Payasya, Terminalia arjuna and Clerodendrum phlomidis [e.g., Tarkārī] and if scratched by the bone of a hog all over the bark”.
