Will do. I purchased this piece in Rs. 1000 after much bargaining and sharing knowledge of other herbs available with the vendor. When I presented it to the Traditional healers using true Dactylorhiza, they asked for more samples, at least half Kg for experimentation (and confirmation). I surrendered as it was not possible at that time.
Hoping for their comments in next visit. Any idea about the taste of rhizome? Its aqueuous paste must be sticky enough both in fresh and dry form. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 2:21 PM, Pankaj Kumar <[email protected]>wrote: > the tubers of Dactylorhiza are very compact infact they look very much > like Oberonia leaves with 5 lobes and constricted base, the apex of > the lobes are pointed.
