Wrightia antidysenterica, the coral swirl, white angel or snowflake, is a flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae. It is native to Sri Lanka. Wrightia antidysenterica is sometimes confused with the species Holarrhena pubescens due to a second, taxonomically invalid publication of the name Holarrhena pubescens. It is known in Sanskrit as kuṭaja or ambikā.
