Surajit ji ... many many many thanks for putting names of plants in Bangla script. It sure will help the group, and me in compiling the names. Best wishes for maintaining this Bangla-named series of posts.

Regards.

Dinesh

Photographs are wonderfully taken from different angels. In case zygomorphic flowers specially with bilabiate corolla, we always suggest students to draw 3 views (anterior, posterior and side/lateral facing) of the flower for detail understanding of floral parts.

This would be BAASOK or BAAKAS in English transliteration.

Thank you,

Sir,

Life science text books of Class-VII under our Secondary board give some account of various medicinal plants. According to those books VASAKA is used to treat cold-n-cough.

The same books also point to presence of alkaloids like vasicine.

I have seen several formulations with labels stating to contain VASAKA, JASTI-MADHU etc.

People here takes leaf-extract after boiling those leaves and with a spoonful of honey.

These links may help -

Regards,

surajit
