It is the only species in the monotypic genus Reinwardtia. DistributionThis flower comes from Himalayas in both China and northern India.[1] UsesA yellow dye made from the flowers is used for dyeing clothes and making paints.[2] CulturePyoli is the subject of many folk songs. According to Garhwali folklore, Pyoli was a young maiden living in the forest. She was raised by animals and her first human contact was in the form of a prince who had lost his way during a hunting expedition. She tended after him and of course he fell in love with her. He persuaded her to marry him and accompany him to his palace. Although she loved the prince she started wilting away in the absence of a natural environment. No one could cure her and finally she died pining for her flora and fauna friends. Her last wish was that she should be buried among her friends. The prince took her to be buried at the place he had first met her. Some time later a pretty, yellow flower came out at the spot. This flower was named after the pretty nature-loving belle.
