Wrightia : Is named after William Wright (March, 1735 – 19 September
1819) who was a Scottish physician and botanist.Interestingly his date
of demise matches with my birthdate :P......
tinctoria: means it must be a dye yielding plant.
Interesting reading attached:
Ngan, P.T. 1965. Revision of genus Wrightia (Apocynaceae). Annals of
the Missouri Botanical Garden 52 (2): 114-175.
