This species is reportedly used in Ladakh as an intoxicant but is said
to be very toxic and to have caused some deaths.
If anyone on the list can supply a plant of this species or refer me to
a commercial source, please let me know. I would of course pay for any
shipping costs envolved.
All the best,
