Comma

Does this need a comma?

The folktales or legends about this plant: none stated by interviewee, but there is one from India stating that after 5 years of a 7 year commitment to not sleeping, a very tired Buddhist priest ate tea leaves and completed his commitment (comma?)and one from China that states that an emperor in 2737 B.C. discovered it when a tea leaf accidentally fell into his boiling water.
Thanks

Yes. Actually, it took me quite a long time to figure out what the sentence was saying, so you could definitely do with something there. As another option, I don't think a semicolon would be out of place there either (instead of a comma).
