Medicinal plants MCQ — 1 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

Corchorus capsularis is jute, grown mainly as a fibre crop, so it is not ordinarily classified as a medicinal plant in this context. Emblica officinalis is amla, widely used in traditional medicine and health preparations. Curcuma longa is turmeric, valued for curcumin and used in medicinal as well as culinary contexts. Ocimum sanctum is holy basil or tulsi, a common medicinal plant in Indian households and Ayurveda. Hence the non-medicinal entry among the four is Corchorus capsularis.
