The Brahmi plant resembles "Brooklime" in appearance, which is little wonder, as both plants belong to the Scrophulahaceae family. "Brooklime" is a rich source of Vitamin C, and can be used in salad- sandwiches, etc. Note, some herb books may refer to "Gotu Kola (CENTALLA ASIATICA)" which is Centella asiatica, as Brahmi, and it is sometimes given this common name, but note, Gotu kola is not "Bacopa monnieri".
