Tamil name(s) of Girardinia diversifolia

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear friends, and Vijayasankar ji,

Please help with any valid name(s) of Girardinia diversifolia (Link) Friis in native script; one of them is listed as anachoriyan - for its synonym Girardinia heterophylla (Vahl) Decne. at ENVIS - FRLHT. The name is quite close to Malayalam name of the plant ആനച്ചൊറിയണം aanachoriyanam.

Regards.

Dear Dinesh ji,

The name anachoriyan may be transcribed as ஆனசொறியன். Yes, it has a slight Malayalam touch in it. The Tamil-ized version would be yanaichoriyan, யானைசொறியன்.

The plant is also called Periya kaanjori பெரிய காஞ்சொறி in Tamil.
