==How to plant/cultivate==
Paris polyphylla Sm. (Satuwa) is one of the medicinal plants listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. Seed viability was found to be low and the seeds did not germinate in laboratory conditions even under different chemical treatments. There seems to be a need for raising awareness amongst people who live in environments in which Paris polyphylla propagates.
