Tāmravallī (ताम्रवल्ली) is the Sanskrit name for a medicinal plant possibly identified with Phyllanthus urinaria (chamber bitter or common leafflower) from the Phyllanthaceae or “leafflower” family of flowering plants, according to verse 3.122-123 of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu. Notes: The Dhanvantari (in his nighaṇṭu) does not describe Tāmravallī, but by the synonym Tāmalkī he has described Bhūmyāmalkī (Phyllanthus urinaria) in Candanādi-varga, which does not tally with the description of Raj Nighantu.

Tāmravallī is mentioned as having nine synonyms: Tālī, Tamālī, Tāmrā, Tamālikā, Sūkṣmavallī, Sulomā, Śodhanī and Tālikā.

Properties and characteristics: “Tāmravallī is astringent and cures affections due to vitiated kapha-doṣa, by purifying kapha. It helps in the affections of mouth and throat.”.
