Clerodendrum phlomidis. Hindi : Arni, Sanskrit : Agnimantha. It is one of the important medicinal plants in Ayurveda and one of the 10 herbs of dashamoola. Interesting thing about this plant is something that is the root of its sanskrit etymology - agni = Fire, mantha = shake. So, if the sticks of the bark of the Arni is rubbed together, one would produce fire.
