Pouzolzia is a genus of flowering plants in the nettle family. There are about 35 species distributed throughout the tropical world.[3] Most are shrubs, and some are herbs. The genus was named for French botanist and plant collector Pierre Marie Casimir de Pouzolz (1785–1858).[4][5]
Pouzolzia hirta is used as a medicinal herb, as well as for culinary purposes, in various African and Asian countries.[6]
People from different tribes of the state of Arunachal Pradesh in India use Poulzolozia hirta, known as "Oyik" in the local dialect, as a part of a main food course which is consumed along with rice. Oyik is prepared with smoked beef/Gayal meat (Bos frontalis) or pork, along with dried bamboo shoots, and served at various occasions and festivals.
