Barleria prionitis (Sanskrit kuranta; Marathi vjradanti (वज्रदंती), Template:Lang-ta),[1] also known as the porcupine flower, is a species of plants in the family Acanthaceae, native to India & Sri Lanka.
It is used for various medicinal purposes in ayurvedic medicine. The juice of the leaves is applied to feet to prevent maceration and cracking in the monsoon season.[2]
Barleria prionitis is often the host to larvae of the Phalanta phalantha and Junonia lemonias butterflies. Its leaves are known to contain 6-Hydroxyflavone, one of the chemical compounds that is a noncompetitive inhibitor of the protein cytochrome P450 2C9.[3]
