Barleria strigosa is a plant in the family Acanthaceae. It occurs naturally in the foothills of the Himalayas, but has been introduced to far northern Queensland, Australia.[1][2]
In Thailand, it is known as Sangkorani (สังกรณี) or Sangkorani trijawa (สังกรณีตรีชวา), after the name of the legendary flower (Sanjeevani) in the Ramakien literature, a Thai version of Ramayana epic. Because it can be used as a medicinal herb just like in mythology.
