With its natural habitat - spread across Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, parts of Pakistan and China - constantly shrinking and its wild population almost gone, the Indian government has declared it a threatened plant variety.
'We sent it to the Central National Herbarium in Howrah, West Bengal, and later National Botanical Research Institute in Lucknow, for testing and they confirmed our suspicions that it is kuth,' Maranko said.
Tilottama Verma, chief of the WCCB, which functions under the ministry of environment, forest and climate change, said, 'As kuth is now cultivated in a very small area in Himachal, but its demand in ayurveda, the Chinese and Tibetan systems of medicine, is increasing, it is being trafficked across countries.
At the height of the pandemic last year, many private healthcare facilities were only able to offer patients limited services, prompting concerns that insurance firms would continue to rake in premiums while customers were left without viable options.
But speaking at an event at the US Pavilion inside of COP26 on Monday, US Special Presidential Envoy John Kerry praised the success of the G-20, pointing out that more than half the countries now have concrete plans to keep temperatures from rising beyond 1.5 degrees, a key benchmark listed in the Paris Agreement.
Brendan Schwab, executive director of the WPA, likened the institutional and state-mandated doping uncovered in Russia by the World Anti-Doping Agency and International Olympic Committee investigations to something close to "subjecting athletes to scientific experimentation in pursuit of sporting success".

The Toyko Olympics appeared to be untenable on Saturday night after USA Track and Field (USATF) called for it to be postponed to 2021 because of the international emergency caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
It's an example of the way that many of the most powerful and moving moments of this summit are likely to occur beyond the walls of the conference center, as activists from around the world come together to represent climate justice and a cross-section of human-rights movements.
Track and field is the most important sport for NBC so the prospect of the US team being reluctant to attend, or insisting that they could not be competitive because of disruption to preparation, means that pressure is becoming unbearable on Toyko 2020 organisers and Bach to postpone the games, despite the huge costs.
Whether the G-20 talks that took place in Rome last week went well or whether they didn't depends on who you ask. World leaders failed to agree on an end date to their use of coal and to get all countries to commit to net zero by 2050, which didn't make for an optimistic start to the UN climate summit in the eyes of many onlookers. The same is true of the political negotiations.
From April this year, eligible individual Bupa customers, and small and large business customers funding health insurance for their staff, can expect to receive a payment equivalent to around one month's premium.
In today's money that equates to $800billion, or around £650billion. The scheme unveiled by Mr Johnson today promises around £5billion in new money - albeit for country smaller in geographic size and population.
"We are the greatest problem-solvers to have ever existed on Earth," said Attenborough. "If working apart we are a force powerful enough to destabilize our planet, surely working together we are powerful enough to save it."
The WPA believes that athletes' rights to a fair trial have often been trampled on in the name of clean sport and a new anti-doping system needs to be developed to protect players rather than victimise them.
'We were the first major health insurer to commit to a customer rebate and are now acting on this pledge. As an organisation without shareholders our customers come first, and we continue to support them throughout these times.'
But failing to look beyond these narratives obscures the moments of hope and humanity at COP26. Political showboating and logistical difficulties have stolen much of the limelight at the summit so far. There are plenty of them to be found, if you peek past the chaos.
Dec 14 (Reuters) - The world's leading players' associations unveiled a universal declaration of player rights on Thursday designed to give athletes a global voice and protect them from the fallout from corruption and a broken anti-doping system.
