Shaliparni is one of the Laghupanchamoola ingredients. Desmodium gangeticum DC. is an accepted source of Shaliparni as per Ayurvedic Pharmacopoea of India (API). Desmodium laxiflorum DC. is the drug commonly used instead of D. gangeticum in the Saurashtra region. The study is an attempt to compare the above said two species on the basis of their pharmacognostical profiles. The macroscopy and microscopy of roots of both plants were studied as per standard procedures. Root powders of both Desmodium species used in the experimental study to ascertain its Rasa by dilution method. Both the species show the same Rasa and Anurasa i.e., Madhura and Kashaya and almost same morphological and microscopical characters like prismatic crystals, starch grains etc. Hence it is concluded that D. laxiflorum may be considered as a substitute for D. gangeticum on the basis of present pharmacognostical study.
沙利帕尔尼是轻身五味药的成分之一。根据《印度阿育吠陀药典》（API），恒河山蚂蝗是沙利帕尔尼的公认来源。在索拉什特拉地区，人们通常用疏花山蚂蝗来替代恒河山蚂蝗。本研究旨在根据上述两种植物的生药学特征进行比较。按照标准程序对两种植物的根进行了宏观和微观研究。在实验研究中使用了两种山蚂蝗属植物的根粉，通过稀释法来确定其味。两种植物显示出相同的味和变味，即甘味和涩味，并且在形态和微观特征上几乎相同，如棱柱形晶体、淀粉粒等。因此，根据目前的生药学研究，可以得出结论，疏花山蚂蝗可被视为恒河山蚂蝗的替代品。
