Names

edit

Many sources still refer to the plant by the synonym Semnostachya menglaensis, but this name is not a validly published name as the herbarium where the type specimen is located was not specified.[7]

The genus name Strobilanthes can be broken down into στροβιλοϛ (strobilus) meaning 'pine cone',[12] and ανϑοϛ (anthos) meaning 'flower'.[13] The specific epithet tonkinensis refers to the type locality of Tonkin (Northern Vietnam).[1] The epither nivea derives from the latin niveum meaning 'snow white',[14] perhaps referring to the white flowers. The epithet menglaensis refers to Mengla County in China.[6]

In Chinese it is called 糯米香 (nuò mǐ xiāng "glutinous rice fragrance"),[7] because it smells and tastes like sticky rice.[9]

In Thai, it is called เนียมหอม[15] (niamhom).[16]

The Vietnamese names for the plant include chuỳ hoa bắc bộ and cơm nếp.[17][18] Chuỳ hoa refers to members of Strobilanthes as a whole,[19] and Bắc Bộ refers to Northern Vietnam. The sarmentosus variety is called chuỳ hoa bắc bộ có lỏng.[17]

Khmu language speakers in Laos call it pl̀tàap.[20]

Uses

edit

The aroma evokes sticky rice, but has also been compared to pandan.[16] Dried leaves of S. tonkinensis are used to flavor black tea and pu'er tea to impart its fragrance and flavor.[21][22] These teas use no actual rice, unlike genmaicha.[22] The use of the leaves in tea has a long tradition among the Dai people.[23] It can also be used as a flavoring for jiuqu, cookies, ice cream, and dim sum.[24] The herb is also mixed with slaked lime for betel nut chewing or added to tobacco to make those strong flavors more palatable.[25]

Outside of food or drink, leaves can be use to give laundry a fresh scent.[25]

S. tonkinensis appears related to S. maculatus, but has much larger flowers, leaves, and bracts; as well as having denser trichomes.[1] S. spathulatibracteata also is morphologically similar.[26]

S. tonkinensis was briefly in the Strobilanthes subgenus Sympagis.[5] The subgenus was subsequently elevated to genus status,[5] before being determined to be a synonym of Strobilanthes,[27] which now has no subgenera.

The variety Strobilanthes tonkinensis var. sarmentosus is so named because it has sarmentose (long and slender) branches.[2]

When the chloroplast genome was sequenced, it was compared to other species within Acanthaceae and the below maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree was produced.[8] The numbers on the nodes are the bootstrap values.[8]

Description

edit

The plant is herbaceous with a woody base and shrubby, roughly four-sided, pubescent branches.[1][7] When dry the plant is fragrant.[7]

The leaves are ~23×12 cm or a little smaller and egg-shaped, starting wide and narrowing quickly to the acuminate apex (tip). The margins are nearly entire, with irregular sinuous 'teeth'. The leaf epidermal cells are hexagonal with straight cell walls.[28] The leaf stomata are hypostomatic (on the abaxial side) and solely diacytic.[28] The non-glandular leaf trichomes tend to be simple, composed of two cells, and cone-shaped.[28] The leaf petioles are 3–4 cm long.[1] Adaxially there are prominent striated cystoliths[1][7] with a point on one end.[28]

S. tonkinensis has white flowers that are opposite, arising from pedunculate, tomentose spikelets in the upper axils.[1] The flowers are in lax, terminal spikes similar to Strobilanthes collina.[29] The bracts are 10×3 mm, slightly spathulate, obtuse, and densely tomentose.[1] Bracteoles are 6×1 mm in size, lanceolate, obtuse, and densely tomentose.[1] The calyx is also obtuse and tomentose, and about 8.5×1.4 mm.[1] The corolla lobes are short and 6x6 mm with a subacute and sinuate apex.[1] The stamen filaments are hairy and laterally bifurcated at the base with a pubescent line running down.[1] Anthers are 3.5 mm long.[1] The pollen grains are 85×60 μm.[1] The stylus 20 mm long and glabrous with a 3 mm stigma.[1]

The capsule is 15 mm long and 4 mm wide, with a compressed base and acute apex.[1] It's minutely glandular-pubescentand contains four glabrous seeds.[1] The glabrous seed is unusual among Strobilanthes of East Asia.[30] The seeds have no trichomes on their areoles, only annular thickenings.[30]

Distribution

edit

The plant can typically be found in tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests at 200–1500 m in elevation in Vietnam, Thailand, China (Yunnan and Guangxi),[7] Laos,[31] Indonesia (Sumatra),[28] and Myanmar (Chin State and Tanintharyi Region).[32]

S. tonkinensis cannot grow in direct sunlight, nor in conditions that are too shaded or moist.[16]

The type was found by Benjamin Balansa in Tonkin (Northern Vietnam) in the forests of the Ba Vì mountain range at 400 m in elevation.[1]

Biochemistry

edit

Dried S. tonkinensis leaves contains abundant minerals and trace elements, particularly high levels of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus.[9] Additionally, it contains essential trace elements such as iron, copper, manganese, and zinc, which are necessary for human health.[9] The plant is rich in nutrients such as crude protein, crude fiber, and amino acids, with a high content of essential amino acids that meets the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization's recommended ratio.[9]

The volatile molecules the contribute to the aroma include α-ionone, trans-β-ionone, linalool oxide (pyranoid), isophorone, formic acid dodecyl ester, acetophenone, 6-methyl-pentadecane, 4-chloro-2-methyl-1-phenyl-3-buten-1-ol, 3-octanol, 3-hexenyl ester, 3-carene, 3,6,6-trimethyl-bicyclo(3.1.1)hept-2-ene, 2-hydroxy-benzoic acid ethyl ester, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 1-phenyl-1,2-propanediol, 1-octen-3-ol, 1-nonanol, 1-dodecanol, 1,7,7-trimethyl-bicyclo(2.2.1)hept-2-ene, and (Z)-butanoic acid.[21]

Ecology

edit

S. tonkinensis flowers from April–June and in December, and fruits in June and July.[7]
