Its official botanical name is Operculina turpethum (synonym: Ipomoea turpethum) and is commonly referred to in english as “turpeth root”, “Indian Jalap”, “transparent wood rose” and “white day glory”. It is native to India and is commonly found in the North Circars and Deccan regions. A solution of this plant is called Ālodaṇa. The literal translation of Trivṛt is “threefold” or “consisting of 3 parts” and is composed of the words Tri (‘three’) and Vṛt (‘enclosing’ or ‘obstructing’).

This plant (Trivṛt) is also mentioned as a medicine used for the treatment of all major fevers (jvara), as described in the Jvaracikitsā (or “the treatment of fever”) which forms the first chapter of the Sanskrit work called Mādhavacikitsā. In this work, the plant is also known by the name Śyāmā.
