Reinwardtia indica, yellow flax or pyoli, is a species of Linaceae found in the Himalayas.
According to Garhwali and Kumaoni 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.
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.
