Sudhāsravā (सुधास्रवा) is another name for Rudantī, a medicinal plant identified with two possibly species, according to verse 5.60-62 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. The fifth chapter (parpaṭādi-varga) of this book enumerates sixty varieties of smaller plants (kṣudra-kṣupa). Together with the names Sudhāsravā and Rudantī, there are a total of sixteen Sanskrit synonyms identified for this plant. Note: Chopra and Bāpālāl identify Rudantī with Cressa cretica Linn. having support from Nāḍkarṇī, while P.V.S. identifies Rudantī with Capparis moonii.
