Hi friends,
I saw second wild flower of the season in the forest at CEC, Goregaon, Mumbai 
today. 

Bot. name : Chlorophytum tuberosum
local name :Kuli 
Hindi: Safed Musli
famiily Liliaceae 
One can see these flowers immediately after the first few showers. The leaves 
are cooked and eaten. This herb is also called edible chlorophytum. Leaves are 
radical and membranous.

Etymology: 





Chloros = green and Phyton is a plant. 

Roots are tuberous, hence tuberosum


cheers,
shubhada
