Hi, Affirmative. The local Marathi name is Alu. Being an annual the plants sprout with the onset of the monsoons and from my records over the last few years flowering occurs mainly in August with an occasional spill over into September. Wirh regards, Neil Soares.

Rhizome called अळूकुडी are eaten. also leaves and stems can be eaten. Am I right? How long does it take till it flowers?
