Strobilanthes kunthiana

Neelakurinji (''Strobilanthes kunthiana'') is a shrub that is found in the shola forests of the Western Ghats in South India. Nilgiri Hills, which literally means the blue mountains, got their name from the purplish blue flowers of Neelakurinji that blossoms gregariously only once in 12 years. Paliyan tribal people apparently used it to calculate their age.〔Mike Kielty, Thursday Online, (''The Lost Gardens of the Raj ) (2008-3-4)〕
This plant belongs to the genus ''Strobilanthes'' which was first scientifically described by Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck in the 19th century. The genus has around 250 species, of which at least 46 are found in India. Most of these species show an unusual flowering behavior, varying from annual to 16-year blooming cycles.〔(Kurinji crown - The Palni Hills are once again witnessing the mass flowering of neelakurinji ); TEXT & PHOTOGRAPHS by IAN LOCKWOOD; Volume 23 - Issue 17 :: Aug. 26-Sep. 08, 2006; Frontline Magazine; INDIA'S NATIONAL MAGAZINE from the publishers of THE HINDU〕
Plants that bloom at long intervals like ''Strobilanthes kunthiana'' are known as plietesials. Other commonly used expressions or terms which apply to part or all of the plietesial life history include gregarious flowering, mast seeding and supra-annual synchronized semelparity (semelparity = monocarpy).〔Daniel, Thomas F. 2006. (Synchronous Flowering and Monocarpy Suggest Plietesial Life History for Neotropical ''Stenostephanus chiapensis'' (Acanthaceae). ) Proceedings of The California Academy of Sciences. Fourth Series. Volume 57, No. 38, pp. 1011–1018, 1 fig. December 28, 2006〕
==Description==
It occurs at an altitude of 1300 to 2400 metres. The plant is usually 30 to 60 cm high. They can, however, grow well beyond 180 cm under congenial conditions.〔Save Kurinji Campaign, () Flower of the blue mountains]〕
