Besides the "acre," there is the comment that the plant is about 6 inches in diameter. Actually, the units are a mess. Plant size in inches, elevation in meters, yields in kilograms per acre. It would be interesting to know how the odd mixture resulted as I doubt his Chinese sources would have used such a mix.
The yield information would have been better expressed as 3.7 kg/ha of the final extract. ________________________________ From: James R.

This was written by a man who calls himself a "medicine hunter". Except for the use of "acre" in the article, the entire thing is written in metric units. Now if only he had used the hectare or square kilometer. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/01/17/lifeflower-treatment-stroke/ I've sent in a comment on that. Jim -- James R.
