sorry if this is unwanted digression. I was surprised to find a web site offering bulbs, saying:
Habitat : Native of indian subcontinent, mainly present in himachal pradesh, jammu and kashmir, punjab and uttar pradesh.
Product offered : Roots
Uses : The bulbs are sweet, bitter, refrigerant, galactagogue, expectorant, aphrodisiac, diuretic, antipyretic and tonic. It mainly shows soothing, astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. They are useful in agalactia, cough, bronchitis, vitiated conditions of pitta, seminal weakness, strangury, burning sensation, hyperdipsia, intennittent fevers, haematemesis, rheumatalgia and general debility
Maybe "motherherbs.com" would be worth an email.

going by the picture on the website I think you might need a cure for disappointment never mind all the other things it cures.

John - I may have sent some L. polyphyllum seed to the exchange but can't remember. I just checked for spares but apprently I have none. If you PM me next autumn I can send you some selfed seed however my plants were looking a tad suspicious (viral?) last summer. Fingers crossed that they last long enough for another round of seed, I need a few myself! Here's a shot.
BTW the motherherbs photo looks like a hybrid.
