Nice photography and great efforts dear Dinesh ji.

The Malayalam and English name are correct, but some more names to be added.  They are പന്നിപെരുവലം panniperuvalm and പീച്ചമ്പാൻ peechampan.  Two plants were conserved here having high medicinal value, and pictures also at EFI archive under this title.

The sad thing is not available these names except അട്ടനാറി attanaari (means common millipede smelling or strange aromatic smell while leaves crushed) while searching in English Wikipedia.  Please google the link and check screenshot.

Regards, Sam.

Sam ji,

I think there is a very small inadvertent typo in your added name  പന്നിപെരുവലം panniperuvalm ... correcting it to പന്നിപെരുവലം panniperuvalam
