Came across this small herb at the top of Bhawdan Hill<\/span> near Wai (Mahabaleshwar region).
\n<\/span>Date\/Time: 28-08-2010 \/ 07:45AM
\nLocation: Bhawdan Hill, Wai region
\n<\/span>Habitat: Wild
\nPlant Habit: Herb<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

is this not aloe vera<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n

rather a cactus<\/p>\n

\n

This is Deccan Caralluma<\/b> [Caralluma adscendens<\/i>]. Will send you some of my photographs.<\/p>\n

\n

Photographed at my farm. Will send photographs of the flowers later.<\/p>\n

\n

The Irula peoples from the Pillur Ghats, Coimbatore district eat the young stems. I also tasted many time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I think I have seen them somewhere being sold in the market.<\/p>\n

\n

The aerial parts of both young and mature plants can be eaten, but younger plants are preferred. Older plants have medicinal properties and, I believe, are used for the treatment of Herpes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

You have seen it and also snapped it`s flower.<\/p>\n

\n

In Marathi it is called as “Makadshingi<\/b>” & is used as vegetable in time of scarcity<\/p>\n
