Description: Erect subshrubs to 2 m tall, stoloniferous; stem mostly unbranched, obtusely tetragonous, hollow. Leaves in whorls of 3-4, 7-22 x 2-4 cm, linear-lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, base attenuate to acute, margin entire or more or less toothed, apex acute or acuminate, sessile or subsessile. Flowers in terminal panicles. Bracts foliaceous resembling the leaves in all respects but smaller; bracteoles 5-12 x 2-3 mm, linear. Calyx 5-partite, red, broadly campanulate; tube 4-6 mm long; lobes 5, 6-10 mm long, ovate, apex acute. Corolla white, hypocrateriform; tube slender, 8-13 cm long, curved; lobes 8-15 mm long, oblong or ovate-oblong, obtuse, reflexed. Stamens 4, exserted; filaments purple, slender; anthers oblong, c. 2.5 mm long, purple. Sytle filiform, purple; stigma shortly bifid. Frit 4-lobed, blue-black, 1-1.3 cm across; pyrenes 1-4, 1-seeded; fruiting-calyx accrescent, fleshy, bright red.
Root—used for asthma, cough, scrofulous affections. Leaf—vermifuge. Resin—antirheumatic. The plant is also used in fever, atrophy, emaciation of cachexia and consumption.
The leaves contain flavonoids—scutellarein, hispidulin and their 7-O-glucuronides; also sterols.
Flowers contain beta-sitosterol and triterpenoids. The bark yields hexitol and sorbitol. The flavone, pectolinarin and a diterpene, oncinotine, exhibit antifeedant activity. [Indian Medicinal Plants An Illustrated Dictionary].
