An interesting fact about G.nepalense (if it is that species) is that Walter Lawrence has mentioned in his book (published in 1895) that in his time it was used as a cheaper substitute for madder (Rubia cordifolia). Madder was cultivated in a very small area of the valley and was costly. It shared the name *Mazait *with madder (Hindi *Manjith*) among the local people.
