Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)

Mañjarī (मञ्जरी) (or, vallarī) refers to “plants having leaves with long clusters”, and represents a technical term related to the morphology branch of “plant science”, which ultimately involves the study of life history of plants, including its origin and development, their external and internal structures and the relation of the members of the plant body with one another.—This branch of Botany is divided into “external morphology” and “internal morphology” or “histology”. Both these were known to ancient Indians. The Atharvaveda is the earliest work to reveal the knowledge of external morphology. In this Veda trees of various descriptions are mentioned, e.g., those having leaves with long clusters (mañjarī). [...] Thus, the ancient Indian scientists studied plant life particularly from Morphological aspect.
