Source: WorldCat: Rāj nighaṇṭuDrumāruhā (द्रुमारुहा) is another name for Kaivartikā, a medicinal plant possibly identified with Ventilago madraspatana (red creeper) from the Rhamnaceae or “buckthorn family” of flowering plants, according to verse 3.120-121 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. Notes: Ṭhākur B.S. et al identify it with either Smilax species or Ventilago species. Nāḍkarṇī suggests Ventilago madraspatana Gaertn. (Rhamnaceae). Even after Nāḍkarṇī’s identification the creeper needs further verification. The third chapter (guḍūcyādi-varga) of this book contains climbers and creepers (vīrudh). Together with the names Drumāruhā and Kaivartikā, there are a total of eight Sanskrit synonyms identified for this plant.
