Many thanks Ushadi,
Have asked my friend, an organic farmer, to send pictures and how the Bhil
tribals use this plant. At what age, genderwise. Will keep the group posted.

He did mention when I sent him Viplav's reply that the Bhils call it
Puwadiyo and that he had wrongly called it Puwadiya.

Regards
Dev
