Dear Dinesh ji,

Sorry for the late response. Have been travelling for work and out of touch with the eflora group emails since the last few weeks.

"Kasraut" is mentioned as the Hindi name (from Oudh) of Flemingia strobilifera in 'Indian Trees' by Dietrich Brandis [pg. 231] but I'm not aware of a similar name in Gujarati. I know of only one Gujarati name of this plant - પોપટ્યો / Poptyo. Hope this helps.

Best wishes, Viplav

It helps, Viplav ji, immensely.

Me too on searching the internet and dictionary resources, had got the feeling that the name kasraut may not belong to Gujarati at all.

Thanks very much for the name in Gujarati for Flemingia strobilifera.

Regards.

Dinesh
