The plants collected together under this genus form two tolerably well 
defined groups, which may perhaps be regarded as genera when increased 
by new species, and when the true structure of their column has been 
determined by the examination of fresh specimens. I find it impossible at 
present to satisfy myself upon this point in consequence of the crushed 
state of the parts, which cannot be restored to their original form.

According to Roxburgh this plant is called Shwet Hoolee in Bengal, and 
he says that a red and blue kind are reported to exist, neither of which he 
had seen.
