In Indonesiann it is called gigil, alternatively tataruman in Sundanese, ramram in Papua, Hom dong (ฮอมดง) in Thai, but Yai khlang yai (ยายคลังใหญ่) in Nakhon Sri Thammarat, Yai Krang (ยายกรัง) in the South, and Hom Kham (ฮอมคำ) in Lanna (Northern Thai).
It is an important herb in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs.[2] The active ingredients are febrifugine and isofebrifugine.[3] In traditional preparations it is used in conjunction with other plants such as Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice), Ziziphus jujube and Zingiber officinale (ginger).[4]

Id Please
A shrub en-route Yumthang Valley
20 May,2013


I am very curious to know the id of this beautiful wild plant.

I haven’t any idea, yet you may try Dichroa. Please, bear with me if your search yields nothing.


Could be Dichroa febrifuga


If this inflorescence is called panicle this is Dichroa febrifuga Lour (FBI has only this), i can see 5 styles in some flowers.

It looks different.


Initially I thought so but it looks like close to It. Did not find matching to other ! Let us wait for more feedback.


Yes, id is correct as per details at Hydrangea febrifuga
Confusion seems to be due to few flowers here instead of a large bunch.

Please identify the shrub from Phenk (Nagaland)


I guess Hydrangeaceae, may be some Hydrangea sp ?


Deutzia sp. ??


Thanks, … I think looks different as per Deutzia


It could be Dichroa febrifusa = Hydrangea febrifusa


Thanks a lot, … That seems to be a good possibility as per images and details at Hydrangea febrifuga


I was thinking about this earlier but could not decide since I could not get the  exact match!
