Asparagus racemosus Willd. RACEMOSE ASPARAGUS. East Indies, African tropics and Australia. In India, the tubers are candied as a sweetmeat. This preparation, however, as Dutt states [1], has scarcely any other taste or flavor besides that of the sugar. Firminger [2] says the preserve prepared from the blanched shoots is very agreeable.
Grown in India in home-gardens. In India and Nepal widely used as medicinal plant and in veterinary medicine. Experimental plantations have been initiated in Lucknow, India, to meet the increasing demand of the pharmaceutical industry. The roots are used as refrigerent, diuretic agent and as a medicine for fever, diarrhoe, cholera, rheumatism, insect bites, wounds, chest pain and diabetes as well as an aphrodisiac and during and after pregnancy. From the leaves a cancerostatic polycyclic alkaloid has been isolated. In India and Sudan, the fruits are eaten. In some parts of India and Nepal, the tuberous roots and young shoots are boiled and eaten as vegetable or sour as pickles or in candied form. Also grown as ornamental in temperate glasshouses. Wild distribution: India, Tropical Africa, Australia.
