Dear All:
I am a little baffled....
how can one be soooo sure of the species of an important medicinal
plant...
without either smell? of the crushed leaf? or a cross section of the
leaf,
or best: the flowers and seedpods...
Just two small pictures can help IDENTIFY a plant?
To me these leaves could be from any of the flowering plants that can
be started
from a bulb...
would love to learn .
Thanks
Usha Desai M.D..
