Dinesh ji,

Sorry.  I overlooked this message.

I am giving below the bengali script.  In Bengali, Lata means climber.  In the first word, i. e. Goalilata, I feel that Goali should be separated from Lata as given herewith.

Whether all volumes of Flora of Assam are available online?

Regards.

গোয়ালি লতা,   গোয়ালিয়া-লতা

Thanks once again very much Tapas ji for the help.

About Flora of Assam, I found following links (not sure whether these comprise all the volumes):

1. Vol. I  (Part I) and Vol. I. (Part II)
   
2. Vol. II
   
3. Vol. III
   
4. Vol IV
   
5. Vol V
   

Regards.

Dear Tapas ji,

While লতা = creeper, vine ... I am wondering what is literal meaning of গোয়ালি or গোয়ালিয়া.

Ampelocissus latifolia also is given the name gowalia lata at some references.

Perhaps another name govila may help in getting some clue.

Regards.

Dinesh ji,

I express my sincere thanks for providing the valuable links leading to the Flora of Assam which is not available in BHL and Botanicus. I have downloaded all. At first I thought that someone has published a revised Flora of Assam! Anyway, I do not have to go to a library now for seeing this basic book. Prof. S. K. Borthakur of Guwahati University and his students are likely to publish the same in near future.

As regards Lata in Bengali, the meaning that you have given is okay. But there is absolutely no meaning of Goali, Gowalia or Govali. There is Goala meaning milk man and Goal meaning cow shed but the others do not make any sense.  At least I do not know it.

Regards,

Tapas.

Thanks,  Tapas ji and Dinesh ji,  for the discussions.

[Dinesh Valke]

Thanks Tapas ji and Garg ji,

I find the name is used by the Bhumij tribe as put in a white paper.

I find গোয়ালিয়া লতা in a couple of web pages:

1. somewhere in blog
   
2. wikisource
   

Both the pages discuss plants; thus good to go with the name.

Thanks once again, and regards.
