The vines are tall, semi hard stemmed with tuberous roots that support themselves by means of cirrhosed tips. Leaves are sessile, alternate; flowers bright, solitary, at first greenish later becoming yellow and finally scarlet; fruit capsules containing many seeds.

The plant has been used in the Indian system of medicine since time immemorial. It’s rhizomes are reported to have been used as a tonic, anti-periodic, anti- helminthic and also against snake bites and scorpion stings. It is used in local applications against Cancer, parasitic skin diseases and as a cataplasm in urological pains. The drug is sometimes used for promoting labour pains and conversely also as an abortifacient. It is considered useful in colic, chronic ulcers, piles and gonorrhoea. The leaves when applied in the form of a paste to the forehead and neck, are reported to cure asthma in children. The leaf juice is used against head lice.

The medicinal properties of the plant are due to presence of alkaloids chiefly colchicine and gloriosine. It is used in the treatment of gout, a common disorder in the temperate parts of the world. The colchicine content varies from 0.15 to 0.3% in the rhizomes and 0.7 % to 0.9% in the seeds. The discovery of high colchicine content in seeds led to surge in demand in domestic and international markets.
