The plant is a small herb growing to a height of about a foot in good soils and characterised by a bunch of small under- ground root tubers. The leaves are dark green, round and thick. They are said to be somewhat aromatic and used for flavouring. The plant as grown in Nileshwar has no perceptible aroma though the tubers and roots when freshly pulled out are faintly aromatic. This plant is not related to the ordinary potato in any wav except that the tubers resemble small potates to some extent.
