Kalunika (කළුනික)

Kalunika is a plant that many Sri Lankans known by word, But no body have seen it what is real Kalunika. It is very difficult to find and no body knows what is real Kalunika. How do they know about kalunika? According to ancient stories, it is a great medicine. They say it helps to treat dying humans.
One day my mother carry a small plant when she is back from the school. She told me that the eastern doctors believe it is Kalunika. I was wonder and i check it very carefully. Leaves are same as Nika leaves and underneath color was back. Still we have it in our garden in kurunegala. But i found above picture from the internet.
Ok. Those will remain.
I am going to do something else. I am trying to share with you things that Sri Lankans have done and they doing. Many of you have not seen and you have seen but you don't care.
