Thank you very very much Prasanta ji, for help with the names.

About ghorakukra, we will go by trusting Hasan Mehedi's compilation of names. He has clearly put Santali in brackets next to ghorakukra.

Regards.

Dinesh

Respected Sir,

The transcription in Santali language is as follows;

orop : ᱚᱨᱚᱯ

Ghorakukra: ᱜᱷᱚᱨᱟᱠᱩᱠᱟᱹᱨᱟ

I don't know Bengali so i can't guarentee it's correct for the native name of Cheilocostus speciosus  as ghorakukara from the reference, reads like native Santali though.
