Gloriosa superba is indeed a beautiful plant and I think it is poisonous also. It is nice to know its various name and why these names are given that it is a medicinal plant. And the most important information about its conservation. All this is possible in a group like Indiantreepix. But the writeup you sent I cannot read. As Nalini ji said if its english translation is avialable all of us can read it. Promila
