Sri Lanka's flowers have been immortalized in age-old paintings and pre-Christian records. Professor S. R. Kottegoda, author of the book Flowers of Sri Lanka, writes that the most ancient painting of a flower found in Sri Lanka, that of the sacred lotus, dates back to the 3rd century. It is found in Pothgalkanda, a hill in Kandalama, not far from Sigiriya Rock, where visitors may view the second oldest extant flower painting, that of a temple flower (frangipani), circa 5/6th century. And when Ibn Battuta, the famous medieval traveler from Tangier, Morocco, visited 14th century Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and trekked up its holy mountain, Adam's Peak, he noted the abundance of gemstones, monkeys and "flowers of diverse colours."

Results of a recent World Bank biodiversity project, on conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants in Sri Lanka, show that the country "holds more than 3,350 flowering species," of which "500 of these native flora" are utilized in traditional medicine. Twenty-three per cent of these flowering species are endemic to the country.
