I have seen this routinely being sold on the streets in Mumbai. The sprigs look 
dry, but once they are put them in water they turn green again.
 
I didn't know they were sold as having medicinal properties and assumed it was 
for ornamental purposes.

Got this photograph on a visit to Tryambakeshwar, Nashik, Maharashtra State on 
16 January 2010. 
 
The vendor claimed it to be "Sanjeevani Butti" and that it would have magical 
healing properties and it was the same as the one picked up by Hanuman. All 
taken in good spirit, of course. 
 
Can anyone fill me in on the story?
 
Regards.
