The FRLHT (//http://www.frlht.org.in) site is a good help in finding English or Latin equivalents to Indic plants. It says Sanjivani would be Cressa cretica (CONVOLVULACEAE). The image is very blurred.

A quick search brings up Rudandi, a small shrub. Google Images tells the same story. This, however, was a small tree 2-3 meters high.

The word sanjivani itself means "endowed with life" or "fullness of life", ie. a revitalizer, depending how you interpret the san- prefix. This could conceivably be applied to a vast array of potent medicinal plants.

Alternative readings: sajivani, sanjivani, samjivani, sajeevani, sanjeevani, samjeevani

The taste and texture is actually more akin to cashew, judging by the tiny chunk that ended up in my mouth as I split one of the seeds for the sample photo.

Fuzz, not fully into testing without prior info â€" I do have a friend who took the trip once and apparently was just fine afterwards! However I got the impression that he wasn't into doing it again â€" not that he's big on plants anyway. I am assuming he would give me a heads up if it took two weeks to recover...
