In ayurvedic gardens Barleria prionitis is usually ided as SAHACHARI... or puitting it other way around what is ided by older ayurvedic doctors as SAHACHARI is leblled by ENglish speaking ayurvedacharyas as Barleria prionitis what we need i think is chemical analysis if the functionally potene tsahachari and possibly DNA studies curling of petals etc is a very unreliable index to my mind
