Dear friends,

Please help me by:
1) validating the Kannada name ಕಾಂದಳೆ (kandale)
2) providing the Telugu names -- kandigala, thuvar-kandan in native script.


Regards.
Dinesh

Wonderful photograph, Dinesh ji.

       A small correction in the Malayalam script.  Kantal or kandal is to be written as കണ്ടല്‍.
        Also Cheru-kantal should be written as ചെറുകണ്ടല്‍. 

        Warm regards,
       Sandhya

Dear Dinesh ji,  
Great work and excellent photo 👍
In both Malayalam and English spellings needs only '' and 'k'. So  kan-duh-LEE-uh -- from Malabar name of the plant, kantal (കണ്ടൽ)
KAN-del -- from Malabar name of the plant, kantal (കണ്ടൽ)
Correct spelling is ചെറുകണ്ടൽ cherukantal  എഴുത്താണികണ്ടൽ ezhuthanikantal  കണ്ടൽ kantal 
Hence no use of 'ക്ക' and 'kk'.
With regards, Sam.

Thanks very much, Sam ji, for your keen eyes and for pointing out these errors.
These were pointed out earlier by Sandhya ji and I had corrected them, but inadvertently, I copy-pasted the old mistaken spellings.
I am revising the notes and correcting them.
Regards.
Dinesh
