Curculigo orchioides (commonly called golden eye-grass, xian mao,[1] weevil-wort,[2] black musli,[3] Kali musli,[4] or Kali Musali[5]) is a flowering plant species in the genus Curculigo. In C. orchidoides, curculigoside A, B, C and D[6] and curculigine A and D[7] can be found.

Curculigosides are natural phenols found in C. orchioides that could be useful against β-amyloid aggregation in Alzheimer’s disease.[8]
