Thanks. Kindly tellme the name of the leaf "goldenseal " in any of Nigeria language. Thanks. pin:502B33A2

that should be "ewe padimo" in Yoruba language...I'm not sure though

Golden Seal has a root,the root has more use than the leaf.Hence to identify this leaf,first identify the root.Golden seal,is from the ginger family.Americans call it golden seal,but native Americans have a different name for it.One of the popular name is Indian Turmeric.Yep!So,when you call it Golden Seal it becomes a mysterious plant.Call it,turmeric then,we get the picture clearly.I was able to figure it out by reading up on,saw a schematic diagram of the plant and its yellow root under the soil.I kept studying the root and slowly, I remembered it.When they started describing it as yellow root,the only plant my mind fell on was yellow ginger.And I was right.

Locally, It s a kind of yellow ginger.In Yoruba,the leaf you are talking about produces the type of ginger root,they call:AGIO.AGIO Is yellow and will color anything it comes in contact with!Trust me,it is Turmeric powder when grounded and popular among Indians and American Indians.

Hence, don't look at the leaf to know the leaf.Instead look at its fruit, the root to identify the leaf!
