Found this beautiful flowering of Strobilanthes auriculata in a Hill Sal Forest close to FRI, Dehradun , Nov 2014

The flowers as well as the leaves had a nice aroma.

Yes. It is Strobilathes auriculata. The spikes onmaturity of seeds yield essential oil,which smelle like camphor oil, hence it is named as Kapurminjar in
Kangra & Mandi.

Yes. It is Strobilathes auriculata. The spikes on maturity of seeds yield essential oil,which smells like camphor oil, hence it is named as Kapurminjar in
Kangra & Mandi.The oil droplets from the spikes are collected in a collyrium (KAJAL) containing dibbi and colsed by its lid. The oil gets absorbed in Kajal and the medicated  kajal is applied to the eyes for effecting cure from eye diseases.

Nice Pictures and very useful information. Just wanted to know its flowering pattern. Does this species flower every year or once in few (?) years?

Thank You,
Rajendra Shinde

Rajendra ji, U.N. Kanjilal in his 'Forest Flora of the Chakrata, Dehra Dun and Saharanpur Forest Divisions' does not talk about this Strobilanthes flowering in long intervals, he mentions its Flowering period to be Nov.- March, however eflora of China says it is known to be pliestesial in some parts of its range. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242425784
