Definition

A shrub with white latex and reddish-purple flowers, commonly found in sandy or coastal areas.

Etymology

Borrowed from the Sanskrit 'vaidūrya', which originally referred to a precious gemstone or cat's eye. In the botanical context of the Archipelago, this name was adopted for the Calotropis gigantea plant due to its jewel-like flowers, reflecting ancient Indian aesthetic influences.
