This beautiful flower is native to Manipur, among other places. A Manipuri friend of mine tells me that there is a beautiful poem in Manipuri on this flower (called Melei Leishna). A few lines go as:
Melei Leishna nongjum pal Kadambadi leinungshi Leirang leichal khangdana mangkhigadaba Pamuida! roughly translated (by my friend) as: Oh beautiful and fragrant Melei Leishna In spite of your beauty and fragrance My heart rues at your fate You will be lost without becoming the pride of a bouquet!
