Dinesh ji,

I get the following names as per Flora of India (compiled from literature and field notes):

Beng.: Kalisitki, Kamkatajuli, Silpati; Hindi: Tikhar; Kan.: Billisulli, Kaadu nugge; Mal.: Chuvanna-niruri, Kattu-niruri, Pavalapulah, Pavilapulu; Or.: Jajan; Sant.: Kadupala, Karki; Tam.: Kattuniruri, Manipullanti, Pomarai, Seppulae, Sithuruvam; Tel.: Adavimunaga, Balli, Ettapurugudu, Yellari.

Now there is no need to give a hyphen to join the words vitis and idaea.

I appreciate the photography.

Regards,

Tapas.

Dinesh ji,

Sorry. the hyphen in this case, i. e. vitis-idaea will stay. I have checked Article 60.9. of ICN.

I am attaching herewith extracts from the following publication which may be found useful:

Chakrabarty, T. & M. Gangopadhyay 1996. The genus Breynia (Euphorbiaceae) in the Indian subcontinent. Journal of Economic and Taxonomic Botany 20(3): 501-512.

Hope you are having the following publications:

The Wealth of India (Raw Materials) and

Indian Medicinal Plants by Kirtikar & Basu (ed. 1935).

Regards,

Tapas.

Thank you very very much Tapas ji for all these efforts.

I request my friends to provide following names in their native scripts; I will then be able to add the names to the names' database.

Bengali (B. retusa): chitki
Bengali (B. vitis-idaea): silpati, kalisitki, kamkatajuli
Konkani Goa: haddin (in Devanagari or Kannada)
Hindi (B. retusa): kambhi, kalamahomad
Hindi (B. vitis-idaea): tikhar
Oriya: jajan
Tamil: periseelai
Telugu: devadai, dawadaree (I think there could be a typo here - it could be devadari).

Regards.

It is called as ఎల్లారి,ఎర్రపురుగుడు, యెర్ర బల్లి, పురుగుడు , పొగడ (Telugu). Dinesh ji is correct, because the red fruit resemble coral it is called pogada(పొగడ)

Thank you
