I think Wrightia antidysenterica (syn W. zeylonica) does not come into picture. We are discussing Wrightia tinctoria versus Holarrhena antidysenterica which is now more correctly H. pubescencs. These two species are found growing in Delhi, as also in Rajasthan, as mentioned by Mr Devendra Bhardwaj. These two are often confused by the same name Indrajau, and often similar parts.

I have been finding all over internet that Holarrhena antidysenterica is considered as synonym of Holarrhena pubescens. Regards.

Both have similar looking leaves, long follicles and white flowers. The flowers, however, are quite distinct, stamens are included in Holarrhena and corona filaments are absent, whereas in Wrightia stamens are protruding and corona filaments are prominently visible. Though Hindi name Indrajau is approriately applied to Wrightia, it is sometimes also applied to Holarrhena (I found this label in Herbal Garden in Delhi, and initially got confused). More acurately Wrightia is Mitha-indrajau and Holarrhena Karwa-indrajau (Tita-indrajau in Bengal; Kadu-indrajau in Maharashtra; Karwo-indrajau in Gujarat). In Telugo Wrightia is Amkuda and Holarrhena Amkuda-vittulu. In Kanad Wrightia is Kodamurki and Holarrhena Kodumarkan-bijai.
