Thanks Garg ji and Bimal ji. As per India Biodiversity Portal <http://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/263941> the distribution of this plant is Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Thus there is possibility it may not be listed in Edible Wild plants of The Himalayas. Let us wait for more comments. Regards. Dinesh
