Justicia gendarussa, commonly known as willow-leaved justicia (Marathi: बाकस, bakas, काळा अडुळसा, kala adulasa; Sanskrit: कसनः, kasanah, वैध्यसिंहा, vaidyasinha),[1] is a small erect, branched shrub, endemic to India.
It is useful in asthma, rheumatism and colics of children.[2] It may have the potential to be the basis for a birth control pill for men. Clinical tests are being conducted in Indonesia.[3][4][5]
