li ga dur or ga dur in the Shel gong shel phreng is of superior and inferior type : ga dur mchog grows in SW Tibet, develops dark root with wrinkled bark, but soft and red inside. With a thick and hard root it is considered male, with a thin and soft root it is considered female. ga dur dman pa grows in S and SE Tibet, with hard root, but similar shape to the superior one. Since the root is the reference to features, the aerial parts may differ and plants comme from different genera, even families (Kletter 2001).
With respect to synonyms, ga dur dman pa and spor seem almost exchangeable. gla sgang is identified with tuberous sedges.
