I am grateful for the responses from Alfred Tavares & Pratap Naik sj. I
quite forgot that I have a copy of:
DALGADO. Daniel Gelanio: Flora de Goa e Savantvadi. Lisbon. 1898. 290 p.
The pages of my copy were still uncut but delving into it, on page 152,
Dalgado gives the Konkani name of Bougainvillea spectabilis as Bugamvil.
Could it be that Alfred and Fr Naik have named other species of
Bougainvillea such as Bougainvillea buttiana, Bougainvillea glabra,
Bougainvillea peruviana and Bougainvillea? Photographs of some of them are
at
