Strobilanthes tonkinensis is a species of herbaceous plant native to Southeast Asia. It is used as a flavoring for tea and other food.

Contents

Names

Many sources still refer to the plant by the synonym Semnostachya menglaensis, but this name is not a validly published name as that 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. [11] 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

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]

Taxonomy

Genomic information
NCBI genome ID MW525447
Sequenced organelle chloroplast genome [8]
Organelle size0.144765
Year of completion2021

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. [3]

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

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 is 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

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

Dried S. tonkinensis leaves contains abundant minerals and trace elements, particularly high levels of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. [11] Additionally, it contains essential trace elements such as iron, copper, manganese, and zinc, which are necessary for human health. [11] 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. [11]

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

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

Acanthaceae is a family of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing almost 250 genera and about 2500 species. Most are tropical herbs, shrubs, or twining vines; some are epiphytes. Only a few species are distributed in temperate regions. The four main centres of distribution are Indonesia and Malaysia, Africa, Brazil, and Central America. Representatives of the family can be found in nearly every habitat, including dense or open forests, scrublands, wet fields and valleys, sea coast and marine areas, swamps, and mangrove forests.

<i>Strobilanthes</i> Genus of flowering plants in the acanthus family

Strobilanthes is a genus of about 350 species of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae, mostly native to tropical Asia and Madagascar, but with a few species extending north into temperate regions of Asia. Many species are cultivated for their two-lipped, hooded flowers in shades of blue, pink, white and purple. Most are frost-tender and require protection in frost-prone areas. The genus is most famed for its many species which bloom on long cycles of several years, such as Strobilanthes wightii which blooms every thirteen years.

<i>Acanthus</i> (plant) Flowering plant genus in the Acanthaceae

Acanthus is a genus of about 30 species of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae, native to tropical and warm temperate regions, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean Basin and Asia. This flowering plant is nectar producing and depends on butterflies, such as Anartia fatima, and other nectar feeding organisms to distribute its pollen. Common names include Acanthus and bear's breeches. The generic name derives from the Greek term ἄκανθος (akanthos) for Acanthus mollis, a plant that was commonly imitated in Corinthian capitals.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Jasmine rice</span> Thai rice variety

Jasmine rice is a long-grain variety of fragrant rice. Its fragrance, reminiscent of pandan and popcorn, results from the rice plant's natural production of aroma compounds, of which 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline is the most salient. A rapid loss of aromatic intensity leads many Southeast Asians and connoisseurs to prefer each year's freshly harvested "new crop" of jasmine rice. Jasmine rice is a variety of Oryza sativa.

<i>Strobilanthes kunthiana</i> Species of shrub

Strobilanthes kunthiana, known as Kurinji or Neelakurinji in Tamil language and Malayalam and Gurige in Kannada, is a shrub of the bear's breeches family (Acanthaceae) that is found in the shola forests of the Western Ghats in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The purplish blue flower blossoms only once in 12 years, and gave the Nilgiri Mountains range its name as nil (blue) + giri (mountains). The name Neelakurinji originates from the Malayalam language neela (blue) + kurinji (flower). Of all long interval bloomers Strobilanthes kunthiana is the most rigorously demonstrated, with documented bloomings in 1838, 1850, 1862, 1874, 1886, 1898, 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 and 2018, these have no match to Solar cycles.
