[Dinesh Valke]

Dear friends, and Viplav ji,

While popular name for Ziziphus nummularia is ચણીબોર chanibor OR ચણિયાંબોર chaniyabor, there is another name abdaubordi (***બોરડી) mentioned in Biological Diversity of Gujarat [PDF]. Please help me with the name in native script.

Regards.

Dear Dinesh ji,

This plant is also known as અડબાઉ બોરડી in Gujarati. The epithet અડબાઉ is used for several plants that grow wild or tend to self-sow easily. I'm getting an error while trying to access the PDF linked in your email; the English transliteration of અડબાઉ is incorrect from what you have quoted. Other Gujarati names of this species are ખેતરાઉ બોરડી and પાલેરાં.

Best wishes, Viplav

Thank you very very much Viplav ji for the names, clarity and information.

Regards.
