Keezha Nelli: it is also called as Phyllanthus Nururui.
Phyllanthus Nururui grows throughout the hotter parts of India. It is native to Central Asia; it belongs to the family of Euphorbiaceous. It grows along the bunds and ridges in cultivated fields. The plant grows to a height of 15-60 cm. The leaves are small, close to each other, arranged in two rows so that the branches resemble compound leaves. The plant bears tiny fruits underneath the leaves. If you pull out a Phyllanthus Nururui plant along with roots and hold it up side down, you can see the small berries tucked underneath the leaves. That’s why in Tamil it is called as Keezha (bottom) Nelli (kind of fruit or berry)
