All the sources that I used for my investigation are in the final part of this article under the name "Fuentes". If you get to discover any new information related to my ancestor in your investigation of Dr. Boileau's deeds, I'll be glad if you let me know. I would be grateful as well if you inform me when you publish your book, it sounds interesting.

I believe Dr Boileau heard that your grandfather's plant was in the violet family (which it is), but incorrectly assumed that it looked like a plant in the violet genus.

Well, a doctor on the island of Mauritius ...Sure! <br /><br />Well, a doctor on the island of Mauritius named F.A. Boileau, who had leprosy himself, heard of the Cuichunchulli and was desperate to have the plant imported to Mauritius. Inspired by reports of this plant, unable to obtain it, and expecting to die, Boileau picked a plant off of the ground which had leaves that resembled a typical violet. He began treatment on himself with the plant and experienced symptoms of recovery. He called the plant "bevilaqua" and later went on to "cure" 57 people of leprosy on his island with it. Word spread all over the world about this plant. Today, bevilaqua is known as Centella asiatica. This story is much MUCH longer and stranger than I can comment. I am writing a book about it. <br /><br />What is a good resource detailing your grandfather's search for cuichunchilli?
