Common name: Balsam, Gul mehendi (Urdu), Khujang lei (Manipuri)

One of the most difficult genus with numerous species differing by small botanical characters and differences in range. Plants may otherwise be attributed to this genus by the characteristic bloom. As a rule, they are fond of wet soil besides streams and in damp forests. Commonly found at low altitudes in the foothills and around hill stations.
