It is also considered the medium type of lcum, lcum 'bring or lcum dmar. chu rtsa again has 3 types, male, female and neutral. chu rtsa pho or tha chu ra has a hollow stem, large, thick leaves and yellow, triangular fruits like those of Rumex spp. chu rtsa mo or rdza chu ra has no textual description, but is thought to have a red stem and a small central spike. chu rtsa ma ning again has 2 types, one with a short hollow stem and large leaves, and a second type, chu chung ba, with a shorter reddish petiole and rough leaves (Dawa 1999)
