Have known this twiner as ખાખરવેલ / Khakhar-vel, suggestive of its trifoliate leaves akin to ખાખરો / Khakhro i.e. Butea monosperma. The Gujarati name વિદારીકંદ / Vidari-kand is indicative of the underground tubers that have to be ripped out of the ground ( વિદારવું ). Yet another Gujarati name of this plant is ફગડાનો વેલો / Phagadano Velo since the new leaves emerge in the month of ફાગણ / Phagan.

Best wishes, Viplav

Thank you very much Viplav ji for the interesting names of Pueraria tuberosa in Gujarati. Thanks for the additional information. Will incorporate them into my notes post this Asteraceae Part I fortnight.

Dear Mr. Valke,

I am seeking a verification about the name of the scientist in whose
honour this genus is named. I ask because I often visit Thailand where
we have several kudzus and I have some local literature which credits
the name as M. W. Puerari. I am getting mixed results on the
internet, M. W. as well as M. N. Puerari. Thanks in advance for any
help in this regard and compliments for your haunting photography.

With regards, Donald

Dear Mr Donald,

Thank you very much for pointing out to this confusion of M. N. and M. W. Puerari

To my belief it must be Marc Nicolas Puerari (1765 – 1845), Swiss botanist & professor, who taught at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and left his herbarium to a younger compatriot, Alphonse Louis Pierre Pyrame de Candolle (1806-1893) ...other than Dave's Botanary, we find it mentioned in Calflora • American Journal of Botany • Flora of Australia Online • Plant Lives (PDF) • Forest Invasive Plants Resource Center (PDF).

Swiss botanist M. W. Puerari (1766 – 1845) ... does appear in few results; but no details are found.
If someone helps what the initials M. W. stand for - the search may become interesting.

Regards.

Dinesh

I think both the records point to the same author. A search for the name 'Puerari' yielded a single record in IPNI and JSTOR as well.

Marc Nicolas Puerari 1766-1845

So the other entry may be an orthographis error.

Dear Mr. Valke, Mr. Raman,

Much appreciate your help in confirming the initials to be M. N.
Puerari. I thought perhaps there were two different scientists called
Puerari but it looks like M. W. is a mistake.

Thank you, Donald
