Mam, there are leaves below in the picture. I had known about the mythological Jacob's Ladder but never knew its connection with this. Thanks for the enlightenment. I was thinking there are many plants with similar leaves, then why this particular plant??? May be because it is found at higher elevations close to sky !! Or may be it is such a sedative that it gives you relief like heaven :P... Pankaj
