Dear Dinesh ji,

Very beautiful photograph of this micro flower and great efforts. Chenthumpa is the correct spelling. All other Malayalam and English spellings are correct, with regards, Sam.

Dear Sam ji,

Source of the name ചെന്തുമ്പ chenthumpa is ... A Malayalam and English dictionary by Hermann Gundert ... a name for Osbeckia zeylanica L.f. ... a species distinct from Osbeckia zeylanica Steud. ex Naudin

The Osbeckia zeylanica L.f. is not a synonym of Osbeckia muralis Naudin, therefore not going to include it in this compilation of names.

Had made the mistake in earlier compilation.

Thank you very much again for your keen validation.

Regards,

Dinesh

Dear Dinesh ji,

Chenthumpa is also a good 'n appropriate name for O. muralis.

With regards, Sam.
