Dear Dinesh ji,

Parpadakapullu is correct.

It can be written as 'parppadakapullu' also.

With regards, Sam.

Please validate the name പർപ്പടകപ്പുല്ല് parpadakapullu

References:

1. Many thanks to Vinaya Raj V R and Viswa Prabha for help with this name ... facebook
2. Subrahmanya, Prasad K - Exploration and elucidation of traditional medicinal plants of erstwhile Tulunadu and surrounding area of Kerala and Karnataka - Shodhganga
3. Jose Mathew - Floristic and ethnobotanical studies of Achankovil forests Western Ghats Kerala - Shodhganga

The English transcribed name of പർപ്പടകപ്പുല്ല് could be slightly different from parpadakapullu ... but in this case, I will let it remain as-is.

That is because parpadakapullu is the most popular spelling than any other.

Regards.
