The history of the discovery and description of Strobilanthes lachenensis is provided. Its wide distribution and the variability in its characteristics accounts for a relevantly extensive synonomy. As a hardy perennial, which roots from the nodes, it is easily cultivated in temperate climates unlike the monocarpic species of the same genus originating from more tropical regions.
