Pouzolzia
Pouzolzia zeylanica
Cây thuốc dòi (Pouzolzia zeylanica), also called bọ mắm, is a soft-branched herb of the nettle family with hairy stems and narrow, lance-shaped leaves four to nine centimetres long, three-veined from the stalk and downy on both faces, the underside most of all. Tight clusters of small stalkless flowers sit in the leaf axils. It grows wild throughout Vietnam and nobody cultivates it; the whole plant is gathered between April and June and used fresh, or dried in the sun or a low oven and then simmered in water. Pounded fresh, it is stirred into shrimp paste to keep the maggots out - hence the name bọ mắm.
