A genus of aquatic and semi-aquatic plants native to warm regions, sometimes used in aquariums or traditional medicine.
From Sanskrit 'brahmi' or related indigenous words, the genus was formally named Bacopa in scientific taxonomy. The etymology remains somewhat obscure in botanical literature.
Bacopa is used in Ayurvedic medicine as a memory enhancer, and modern science is actually finding compounds in it that might help with brain function—ancient wisdom sometimes turns out to have real chemistry behind it.
