Asparagus racemosus (fam. Asparagaceae).
Tuberous roots used in ayurvedic medicines.The herb has been highly valued and prescribed to stimulate and strengthen kidney function. Shatavari is traditionally used to support the female organs, prevent sexual debility, help menopausal conditions, stomach ulcers, inflamation and chronic fevers. It is also a primary rejuvenative for pitta. It supports healthy and normal blood flow through the reproductive system. It supports normal hormone utilization and hormone blood levels. Shatavari's antioxidant properties help maintain cell integrity.

It may be 'Asparagus springeri' an ornamental plant, having its root
length only up to 2-3 inches, While in A. racemosus it seems to be up
to 2 ft long. Flowers and fruits in the picture also indicates towards
the asparagus springeri. And it is not used as medicine. Only
A.racemosus and some time A. africanum( Wild) roots are used as
medicine in Ayurveda.
Other information always welcome.
Regards,
Dr.Kadus Arvind,Pune.

Yes I was wondering about the differences between the shown species and the one seen in wild. Arvind ji has clarified it now.Thanks for the clarification...

Dr Arvind is right.... about the differences...
and that this plant may not be A. racemosus
but its also a matter of garden pot/tub versus garden / farm open land
planting and time / months that the plant is allowed to grow so that
the roots are thin and long and not thick and short...
