General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Sinduvāra (सिन्दुवार) is generally identified with Vitex negundo. Vitex negundo, however has blue flowers, whereas sinduvāra is called ‘paṇḍu’ here, and in “Barnett’s ed. of Antagaḍadasā and Aṇuttarovavai dasāo”, p. 46, sinduvāra blossoms and tears are compared. Hence some other identification is probably necessary.
