Prabhu Kumar ji, Actually I had also identified it as the same as your id. But after Neil ji gave its id as A. konjac,I wasn't sure since my knowledge in this field is very limited. Thanks for the id. I was told this is the edible one, locally known as Suran. There is one more species that is Purple from inside, would you know the name for it? Regards, Aarti
