A very popular medicinal herb. Roots are tuberous making a structure similar to human palm with fingers, thus the specific epithet hatgirea (hath jaisi jadi). These roots are believed to be very nutritious, mixed with wheat flour and made into laddoo, which are consumed later for vitality. Unfortunately there is no agrotechnique for its cultivation and all the material used is collected from wild, illegally. DSRawat Pantnagar
