It is concluded that D. deltoidea tubers of the plant were possibly not used as food because they are rich in saponin, hard, fibrous and allergic. From the results ofthorough investigation of specimens deposited in two herbaria in Nepal, it is suggested that the proper taxonomic determination is needed to improve credibility of ethnobotanical studies in the future.
