Dear Gurcharan ji, Thanks for the very comprehensive and scholarly explanation. It greatly adds to our understanding of an important Kashmiri plant. I wonder if it is native to Kashmir or was introduced by medieval practioners of Unani medicine where it is of considerable importance. Hakeems were an important part of Kashmiri society and as the treatises of Unani medicine were in Persian language many of them had links with Iran. Regards Taffazull
