The Hmong groups in Vietnam and Laos, from the 18th century to the present day, are known as Black Hmong ({{Lang|hmn|Hmoob Dub}}), Striped Hmong ({{Lang|hmn|Hmoob Txaij}}), White Hmong ({{Lang|hmn|Hmoob Dawb}}), Hmong Leng ({{Lang|hmn|Hmoob Leeg}}) and Green Hmong ({{Lang|hmn|Hmoob Ntsuab}}). In other places in Asia, groups are also known as Black Hmong ({{Lang|hmn|Hmoob Dub}} or {{Lang|hmn|Hmong Dou}}), Striped Hmong ({{Lang|hmn|Hmoob Txaij}} or {{Lang|hmn|Hmoob Quas Npab}}), Hmong Shi, Hmong Pe, Hmong Pua, and Hmong Xau, Hmong Xanh (Green Hmong), Hmong Do (Red Hmong), Na Mieo and various other subgroups.<ref name="Tapp 2002 p78" /> These include the Flower Hmong or the Variegated Hmong ({{Lang|hmn|Hmong Lenh}} or {{Lang|hmn|Hmong Hoa}}), so named because of their bright, colorful embroidery work (called {{Lang|hmn|pa ndau}} or {{Lang|hmn|paj ntaub}}, literally {{gloss|flower cloth}}).<ref name="X1">{{cite web|url=http://www.tenthousandvillages.ca/cgi-bin/category.cgi?type=store&item=pageZAAAD72&template=fullpage-en&category=fairtrade|title=Flower Hmong: Preserving Traditional Culture in Vietnam|year=2010|publisher=Ten Thousand Villages|access-date=21 January 2011|archive-date=21 July 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721154504/http://www.tenthousandvillages.ca/cgi-bin/category.cgi?type=store&item=pageZAAAD72&template=fullpage-en&category=fairtrade}}</ref>
