Fabulous pic and great efforts dear Dinesh ji.  Malayalam names are ചുണ്ടപ്പാർവ്വതി Chundapparvathy, കരിങ്കുറിഞ്ഞി Karinkurinji 

Regards, Sam.

The Malayalam name for Petalidium barlerioides is കരിമകുറുഞ്ഞി (Karimkurunni) on Wikipedia. It is also sometimes referred to as ചുണ്ടപ്പാർവതി (Chundappārvati) on Wikipedia. [1, 2]

Many many thanks Sam ji, for help with Malayalam name  ചുണ്ടപ്പാർവ്വതി Chundapparvathy  ... It is found on the Wikipedia page.

But I was not able to find any link / reference for  കരിങ്കുറിഞ്ഞി Karinkurinji ... perhaps some error in AI overview of Google's search,

For now I am adding only  ചുണ്ടപ്പാർവ്വതി Chundapparvathy

Regards.
