 Uses : The roots and thicker parts of the stems of this plant are said 

 to be good for coughs. They are either chewed raw, or boiled in 

 water and the water drunk. I chewed a piece of root and found it 

 strongly astringent, and the taste very lasting. It is said that large 

 quantities of the roots are exported from this neighbourhood to Sind 

 and other countries. (Hotson.) Vern. Name : Shurdo, or Shordu
