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.
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.
