Giving name in Malayalam to Dicliptera cuneata Nees

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear Sandhya ji,

Please check whether we can give a name to Dicliptera cuneata Nees on lines of the English descriptive name "wedge-leaf foldwing" given by dear Tabish (Flowers of India) - the name is derived from the scientific name. As of now, there seems to be no name given to this species in Malayalam.

You may please come up with a better name; need not be on lines of the English descriptive name.

Regards.

Dinesh

Dear Sandhya ji,

Thank you very much for this clarity.

I am in full agreement with your reasoning. The challenges to be met for coining names especially in regional languages are many, I agree.

So let us rather keep this plant without a name.

Regards.

Dinesh

Yes, Dinesh ji. Malayalam is a difficult language compared with English when it comes to naming. Sometimes it may end up being too formal or stilted. So if I find a suitable name I shall let you know. Meanwhile I will keep up my search for any local names if they exist. The local names would be quite apt since they would have withstood the test of time.  

Warm regards,

Sandhya

Oh sure, Sandhya ji. And sometimes it happens that naming becomes too challenging. So, I leave it to your discretion.
