Stevia availability:

Bot. name: Stevia rebaudiana
This herbal sweetener is now available in India.
However, there aren’t many suppliers of the plant itself, nor relevantly adequate posts to our group.
I am interested in obtaing around Delhi

if its for personal use, grow it yourself…
a few plants is all you’ll need to supply your family with the sweetener…
if for …commercial use, I have no idea… may be some nursery may be able to help..
I know there were some american guys growing tulsi around agra.. and they had talked of possibly growing stevia… but nothing seems to have come from it… not seen anything from them…

2 yrs back I bought few plants from Jabalpur forest deptt nursery. Now I have about 50 plants in the garden. it needs good care. Easy to grow in plains I will say.


We have seen pictures of your Stevia earlier. I am running many Yahoo groups on medicinal species including on Stevia.
http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/stevia_people/
Other groups are on Safed Musli, Jatropha, Aloe, Parthenium and Marketing of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants.
This is just for your information.

I need id assistance of following images. Is it belong to Stevia? if ok then which species?


It could be Stevia ovata?
This is a native to tropical America, from the mountains of Texas south to the mountains of Mexico, Ecuador and Peru.
This was naturalized in may places in outer Himalayan region of India.


Where was the picture taken ?  Was it cultivated or wild ?

Swamy – Article on Stevia in Star of Mysore: 1 attachment.

I am forwarding herewith a link for the latest article  in Star of Mysore dated 8.1.2023 (Sunday) :   https://starofmysore.com/stevia-a-divine-gift-to-diabetics/
Hope this would be helpful to a few members,


The problem with Stevia is that the crude extract has a number of different glycosides many of which have a bitter aftertaste.

Only one of them called Rebaudioside A is considered acceptable. So to make use of Stevia there must be factories that can isolate Rebaudioside A from the plant. It is not something which you can grow and use all by yourself unless you don’t mind the bitter taste. 
However it can be a valuable cash crop for cultivators.
