Nahlyoora

Morning Glory

Needs to be treated before eating, then a very good food + soaking water used medicinally; found only deep in red sandhills beyond Georgina and Diamantina Rivers; mythology surrounds searching, harvesting and preparation. No such yams known from south-west QLD sandhills - undescribed species?
