Experience the natural beauty and versatility of Lawsonia inermis, commonly known as Henna. This remarkable plant stands as a tall shrub or small tree, reaching heights of 2-6 meters. Its glabrous, multibranched structure boasts elliptical, broadly lanceolate leaves with a length of 1.5-5.0 cm and a width of 0.5-2 cm, presenting a lush green canvas. The distinctive leaves feature entire margins, sub-sessile attachment, and acuminate tips, with veins subtly depressed on their dorsal surface.

Henna is celebrated for its captivating flowers, which possess four sepals, a 2 mm calyx tube, and 3 mm spread lobes. The obvate petals, available in serene white or vibrant red, house stamens neatly paired on the calyx tube rim, while a four-celled ovary and a graceful style extend to 5 mm. Its small, brownish capsules, measuring 4-8 mm in diameter, carry 32-49 seeds each, revealing their treasures through four irregular splits.
