This is a rather rare, native as well as Himalayan endemic sp. of genus Mirabilis earlier was treated under genus Oxybaphus which is now merged in Mirabilis.

It is notable that genus Mirabilis is having ca. 60 species that are distributed across temperate, tropical North America and South America and this is the only one sp. indigenous and endemic to Southern Asia/Himalayas (Spellenberg, 200)

Also M.himalaica is morphologically highly variable sp. and no. of stamens and pubescence of plant varies greatly in different habitats.
