Miśreyā (मिश्रेया) is the Sanskrit name for an unidentified medicinal plant possibly identified with Foeniculum vulgare (synonym Foeniculum capillaceum) or “fennel”, from the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) or “carrot family” of flowering plants, according to verse 4.14-19 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. Notes: Also see Śatāhvā.

Miśreyā is mentioned as having fifteen  synonyms: Tālaparṇī, Tālapatrā, Miśi, Śāleyā, Śītaśivā, Śālīnā, Vanajā, Avākpuṣpī, Madhurikā, Chatrā, Saṃhitapuṣpikā, Supuṣpā, Surasā and Vanyā.

Properties and characteristics: “Miśreyā is sweet, unctuous and pungent. It soothes vitiated kapha and also alleviates the effects (disorders) of vitiated pitta and vāta doṣas. Its use, in splenomegaly and as anthelmintic, is widely accepted”.
