Cyperus Rotundus
''Cyperus'' is a large genus of about 700 species of sedges, distributed throughout all continents in both tropical and temperate regions. Description They are annual or perennial plants, mostly aquatic and growing in still or slow-moving water up to deep. The species vary greatly in size, with small species only tall, while others can reach in height. Common names include ''papyrus sedges'', ''flatsedges'', ''nutsedges'', ''umbrella-sedges'', ''galingales'', and ''zozoro'' (from Malagasy). The stems are circular in cross-section in some, triangular in others, usually leafless for most of their length, with the slender grass-like leaves at the base of the plant, and in a whorl at the apex of the flowering stems. The flowers are greenish and wind-pollinated; they are produced in clusters among the apical leaves. The seed is a small nutlet. Ecology ''Cyperus'' species are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including '' Chedra microstigma''. They also prov ...

Nagarmotha
''Cyperus scariosus'' is a perennial herbaceous plant from Australia and New Guinea. In parts of India, the name is commonly misapplied to ''Cyperus pertenuis''. Description ''Cyperus scariosus'' is very similar to ''C. pertenuis''. Georg Kükenthal thought it was a variety of ''C. corymbosus''. Taxonomy The species was first formally described by the botanist Robert Brown in 1810. The species ''C. pertenuis'', only collected in Bangladesh and Myanmar (but likely also found in India), was considered a synonym by Charles Baron Clarke in 1894. Rafaël Govaerts considered it a synonym of ''Cyperus articulatus'' in 2007, but as of 2012 ''C. pertenuis'' is considered an independent species again. Distribution It occurs in Papua New Guinea and Australia. It is not known from the Indian subcontinent. There are a four collections of ''C. pertenuis'' from Myanmar and Bangladesh, and the species was thus once thought to be native to these countries, Note references are misapplying t ...

Ayurvedic Medicine
Ayurveda (; ) is an alternative medicine system with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. It is heavily practised throughout India and Nepal, where as much as 80% of the population report using ayurveda. The theory and practice of ayurveda is pseudoscientific and toxic metals including lead and mercury are used as ingredients in many ayurvedic medicines. Ayurveda therapies have varied and evolved over more than two millennia. Therapies include herbal medicines, special diets, meditation, yoga, massage, laxatives, enemas, and medical oils. Ayurvedic preparations are typically based on complex herbal compounds, minerals, and metal substances (perhaps under the influence of early Indian alchemy or '' rasashastra''). Ancient ayurveda texts also taught surgical techniques, including rhinoplasty, lithotomy, sutures, cataract surgery, and the extraction of foreign objects. Historical evidence for ayurvedic texts, terminology and concepts appears from the middle of the fir ...

Mosta
Mosta () is a small but densely populated city in the Northern Region of Malta. The most prominent building in Mosta is the Rotunda, a large basilica built by its parishioners' volunteer labour. It features the world's 3rd largest unsupported dome, and displays a replica of a German bombshell that famously crashed through the dome but did not detonate upon impact. Mosta celebrates the parish feast of the Assumption every 15 August. Mosta's feast day celebration is popular amongst both locals and tourists. The city is annually decorated by local parishioners and townspeople, seeking to demonstrate their affection for the city and its patron saint, weeks ahead of the public procession. General History Mosta has been inhabited since pre-history. Dolmens in the limits of Mosta and cart ruts are primary evidence of this. Each dolmen has two rectangular standing stones and one other similar stone positioned horizontally above the other two. In the Middle Ages, Mosta was a sma ...
