I was looking for the origin of species epithet of this, but couldnt
find.
"annandalei" sounds like Indian so I was just curious.
If anyone can help, I would be grateful.

Dear Pankaj, 
1) there are many places by the name Annandale
2) at least one personality by the name ... N. Annandale, Indian sponge specialist in the first half of the 20th century, who did some important monographs on Asian freshwater sponges, as well as some studies on Indian marine sponges, notably excavating sponges. 

Hope it helps.
Regards.
Dinesh

Thats nice. It has to be name of a person for sure. You may be right.
I will have to find out. I imagine why they will name a plant after
some one who works on fresh water sponges. May be they did !!!

Thanks again.

Pankaj, maybe you should ask the Thais or the Malays on Facebook if
they had anyone by that name because most of their names are also
Indianized since their religious scriptures are in Pali.
