Hello Asmita!
It's your SJ mentor.
Thank you for introducing your fabulous report with us.
I could figure out it is also populated in Korea called as Five-leaf chastetree.
It is pleasing to get information about plants from you.
I hope research could be conducted to extract helpful ingredients from the plants.
Keep up with your hard work!
Green cheers!
Best regards,
SJ mentor.
