Madhuri ji ... this non-native plant (American Snakeroot) could be bigger in some aspect than the native Rauvolfia serpentina, the Indian Snakeroot whose ayurvedic names are चन्द्रिका chandrika, नाकुली nakuli, पातालगरुड patalgaruda, सर्पगंधा sarpagandha.
Why does R. serpentina get the name chandrika in first place ? ... this link may help http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_indian_snakeroot.htm
