Vasa (Justicia adhatoda)

Flowers are essential for precise plant identification, and understanding flower synonyms can substantially enhance our ability to identify species.
Indian botanical acharyas have developed a sophisticated terminology that enables efficient pattern recognition and memorization for plant identification. 

Ayurveda texts describe Vasa (Justicia adhatoda) synonyms as...

Vajidanta....where the color and shape of unopened flowers evoke the image of a horse's incisor teeth.

Simhasya..where the opened bilabiated flower resembles the opened mouth of a lion.
