mishamitika :

Substitute:

The rootstock of Geranium wallichianum D. Don ex Sweet (Geraniaceae) is used as a substitute for Coptis teeta. The root of Thalictrum filiolosum DC. (Ranunculaceae) is also used as a substitute and adulterant to C. teeta. 

Adultrants:

Since the roots of the species of the genus Swertia resemble rhizomes/roots of C. teeta, in appearance, they are adulterated with this species

Controversy:

Some consider Thalictrum foliolosum as mamira

Commercial value:

 Current rate of Coptis teeta is about Rs.2000/kg,
