Thank you for the information. This particular tuber species has been now successively cultivated in vast area for export and local pharma purposes in districts of Madurai and Dindugal of Tamil nadu; hence the collection from wild is mitigated.

In java & Indonasia it is called as Malabar Glory lilyand Kembang telang.
