This is primarily an Asiatic genus of the tropical and subtropical regions distributed from India and Sri Lanka to the Indo-Pacific.[3] The members of the group are generally herbs or under shrubs, including some stemless members. Leaves opposite, leaf margin entire or serrulate. Inflorescence usually scorpioid cymes. Flowers in most species purple, some members with reddish or white flowers. Stamens 3, (in one whorl) or rarely 6 (in two whorls). Ovary inferior, 3-celled. Many species of this genus have restricted distribution and very small populations and would thus be regarded as Vulnerable (VU) or Endangered (EN) based on IUCN Red List criteria though this taxon has not yet been assessed for the IUCN Red List.

gollark: It's basically that, yes.
gollark: Not that you would want to write that unpredicatedly.
gollark: You can write a rule `+[a, (b+c)]` but not `_[a, 0]` to `_[a]` for arbitrary `_`, basically.
gollark: It isn't... able to be generic over heads of expressions, roughly.
gollark: If I have expression rewrite rules which can go both ways, it would take arbitrarily large amounts of time to do anything.
