The plant, sort of a creeper, grows from stem cuttings. The leaf, when plucked, gives out a somewhat sweet but, pungent smell. The plant is said to have some medicinal uses although I don't know when and for what it is used.

Karpoora Thulasi
This is one of the various plants of which I have no information except that it is called 'Karpoora Thulasi' in the local language. 'Karpooram', means Camphor and 'Thulasi' is a common plant considered to be sacred by Hindus (its scientific name, I believe, is 'Ocimum Sanctum').
