Many many thanks, Sam ji.

നീലക്കുറിഞ്ഞി neelakurinji = blue karvi, and it is very popular for Strobilanthes kunthiana (Nees) T.Anderson ex Benth.
Since Strobilanthes ixiocephala Benth.is not exactly blue, but is more of white with tinge of blue, I think we make use of name that means either sky blue karvi OR pale blue.karvi.

Thus if ഇളംനീല കുറിഞ്ഞി ilamneela kurinji is good, we will rather use it.
Once again, thank you very much for help with coining name for Strobilanthes ixiocephala Benth.

Regards.
Dinesh

Dear Dinesh ji,
ഇളംനീല കുറിഞ്ഞി ilamneela kurinji is good, but single നീലക്കുറിഞ്ഞി neelakurinji is fair, regards, Sam.

or perhaps this option is preferred ഇളംനീല കുറിഞ്ഞി ilamneela kurinji meaning pale blue karvi

OR rather ആകാശനീല കുറിഞ്ഞി aakshaneela kurinji ... this could be the correct option.

Dear Sam ji,
Please check if name for Strobilanthes ixiocephala Benth. can be easily coined.
Coined English name for this species is sky blue karvy.

We have a name: നീലക്കുറിഞ്ഞി neelakurinji for Strobilanthes kunthiana (Nees) T.Anderson ex Benth.
Would a name ആകാശ നീലക്കുറിഞ്ഞി aaksha neelakurinji make sense as a name ?
Please ignore my request if it is cumbersome.

Regards.
Dinesh
