"Stringy" henna?

I was just talking to Elettaria about this on another thread. I tried
some Yemen henna that the supplier refers to as "stringy" henna;
supposed to be excellent for draping long lines and geometric
patterns. I got a sample of it and found it does mix up differently
to other types, more gel-like in texture, sort of clings to
itself...I thought it would be nice to use on hair.

Does anyone think there would be any other ingredient or component
causing that texture? Is this just a natural occurence, and why would
henna from yemen necessarily be any different? Different strain of
plant? Just curious. It was noticably different to the other samples
I tried and it got me wondering.
