Flora of Haryana: Gloriosa suprba from Village Amin Kurukshetra Haryana: Today me and ... went for a plant hunting trip to District Panipat, Karnal and Kurukshetra District of Haryana. Although we could get about 10 species which we had not seen earlier, but our last aim was to catch Gloriosa superba. While Going by train from Delhi to Chandigarh or Punjab side Amritsar Etc, near to Kurukshetra there is a small station Named as Amin. You can see this plant easily there while sitting in train on western side, from beginning of September to mid October. This grows as wild there but information is that this plant was introduced in that area. This plant bears so beautiful flowers I shot more than 50 pics of this. Now I am sharing about 15-20 pics with you. Hope you will like them

For us it is mere Gloriosa superba but on the basis of medicinal properties, habitat etc. the Traditional Healers categorize it in different types. For example the Traditional Healers of Chhattisgarh Plains describe about 35 types of Jhagadhin i.e. Gloriosa whereas Healers of Niyamgiri describe 20 types of Gloriosa. We know that it is toxic plant but new students of Traditional Healers chew it in front of villagers on the eve of Rishi Panchami. They join the "class" on Hareli Amavasya and learn how to deal with toxic herbs like Gloriosa. On the eve of Rishi Panchami based on the performances they are declared as new Healers. Many Indian farmers are cultivating it under my technical supervision. I am encouraging them to adopt Vedic Farming Methods. Beautiful photographs of Glory Lily. It used to be placed in the family Liliaceae. Searching 'Plant List' I found that it is now placed in the family Colchicaceae. A new family for me. So thought of sharing. The APG III system places it in the order Liliales, and the family includes some two hundred species of herbaceous perennials with rhizomes or corms. Interesting facts... I am very fond of this plant... and flowers... I have a few questions, hope you'll take time to respond to them... they are not idle questions.... 1: do the tribal healers have their own name list of all the varieties, have you written them up someplace where I can see the list? you mentioned 20 or more varieties are recognized by the healers... 2: What is Vedic method of farming? This is not an idle question... am studying vedic math to go with my other vedic studies... such as ayurvedic medicine and studying vedas, starting with RIgveda... SO PLEASE RESPOND IN COMPLETE DETAILS>>> I can not handle utube...just so you can direct me to correct links... so I can read... pdf or word-doc files... A rare medicinal plant- used in treatment of intestinal worms, infertility and skin diseases. Interesting to know that the same species is common here in Western ghats too.....

Just for precaution, this plant is supposed to be highly poisonous, especially seeds and tubers, so be safe.... Gloriosa Superba, Rothschildiana, other colours and Tacca black and white. : 1 post by 1 author. I am from Malaysia. I require help in getting some seeds and tubers of the Gloriosa Lily and Tacca. They are native plants of Malaysia but could not be found in plant nurseries - probably because no one wants to grow a lily considered as a weed that is poisonous too! The Australian actually went gallivanting in the rainforest, took home Taccas and make huge commercial nurseries! Cultivating methods using seeds take too long, might as well sow zinnias today and it sprouts tomorrow. Digging up the bulbs if found growing somewhere in the rain-forest is another matter. I think the phrase is 'Have trowel, will travel'. I know that India grows loads of this plant for medicinal purposes SO can I have help in procuring these tubers and seeds? Agricultural companies only sell in bulk. I have bought tubers from e-bay and they arrived badly crushed and useless. Seeds ordered were never delivered (got a refund)! I am willing to fork-out the expenses incurred in getting these items; circa 10 bulbs of mixed colours if possible and seeds too. Can PAYPAL be used in India? If not, kindly suggest other methods. I feel that it is important to appreciate native plants, not just imported roses! I hope I can get a response soon because end of the year is a good year for planting as the temperature drops by a few degrees.
