Henna is a flowering plant (Lawsonia Inermis Linn. syn. L. alba, fam. Lythraceae) whose leaves have been used to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather, silk and wool.
Mehndi is the application of henna as a form of skin decoration.
Fresh leaves of the henna plant are dried and crushed to a fine powder. The powder is olive green or brownish green in color and fine enough to pass through 250 micron sieve. Fine powder ensures a smooth paste which does not clog the nozzles.
