Dear Vijayasankar ji,
Malayalam name of Strobilanthes gracilis Bedd. is marakurunji in Malayalam
I am hoping we can derive Tamil name as மரம்குறிஞ்சி maramkurunji or மரமகுறிஞ்சி  maramkurunji  on same lines.
If you think it is alright, please let me know which of them is appropriate.

Regards.
Dinesh

Dear Dinesh ji,

The name 'Marakurinji' seems suitable for this species. It can be written as மரக்குறிஞ்சி in Tamil.

Best,
Vijayasankar
