You may please ignore my request without any hesitation, if coining a name for this species is cumbersome.

I found most of Staurogyne spp. thrive in swampy habitat

పర్ర parra ... a marsh, bog, swamp
ఆడాలు adalu ... a herb like cress

Thus, would పర్ర ఆడాలు parra adalu make sense as a general name for Staurogyne ?

And, on lines of English coined name - sticky staurogyne for Staurogyne spatulata (syn. S. glauca), would అంటు పర్ర ఆడాలు antu parra adalu ... be a good coined name ?
You may coin any other name that is more appropriate.

Regards.
