Must be well established on the hills, seeing the reports on EFI. Capsella bursa-pastoris, commonest weed in hills of India and temperate zone of the World. ..., the one I know when I was 5 years old and would go out in field to harvest rosettes of leaves of "Kral Mond" (Capsella burpa-pastoris), "Hund" (Taraxacum officinale), "Batti" (Cichorium intybus), and cook as delicious vegetable.

I have eaten all three very often in spring as greens in salad without thinking of their herbal properties, but the dandelion is definitively good for liver and in fall pulling up the long tap root of dandelion to dry, and keep for various uses ... along with burdock roots ((both roots are also available in organic green groceries next time you may wish to look them up and eat in soups or thin soupy daal at home good for the liver)) and Cichorium intybus as wild flowers ... later in fall to dig up the roots roasting and used as chikory to add to coffee to miimic the french coffee mixes I grew up with in eastern India... and of course eating endives ... a form of cultivated chikory...
