Withania coagulans ( Sanskrit: Rishyagandha, Tamil: Panneer ilai chedi, Hindi: Paneer phool, Pashto: شاپیانگا/مخازور) is a plant in the Solanaceae or nightshade family, native to Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Indian subcontinent.[2] Within the genus Withania, W. somnifera (Ashwagandha) and W. coagulans (Paneer booti/Ashutosh booti) are economically significant, and are cultivated in several regions for their use in Ayurveda.[3] It is claimed to help control diabetes.[4] The berries contain a rennet-like protease that can be used to clot milk for cheese production.[5][6] The plant is prone to leaf spot disease caused by Alternaria alternata.[7]
