I knew I'd get an answer if I posted pix on TOTV - What a wonderful resource this website is, and thank you all, for your input. Sandra
PS. Who knew?
Extracts from either the roots or the leaves have broad antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial isolates, and it is anti-fungal as well. I think some antioxidants were also found and one other extract was nearly as good aspirin. It is a good plant to know if push ever comes to shove and there are no pharmacies around. The roots are also diuretic and used for stomach aches (which eating too much of the cooked leaves can give you.) Leaves are pasted and applied to skin problems. Medicine were made from fresh and dried parts.
