Hello friends, ... here is my attempt to discuss names of flora. In the Indic languages, mostly names are found to have their root in Sanskrit and differ in pronunciation and accent as per regional parlance. Sanskrit named plants are those that have medicinal or religious use ... medicinal plants have their names often descriptive of its healing capability, and the religious would have the name of diety suffixed or prefixed ... some of the plants are known for their part (s) that are edible directly or indirectly ... MUCH ADO ABOUT NAMES !!!!
... very simply, we must know what, why, how, ... we call our plants, AND that the common names are as important as the botanical names (: or possibly more :) This page for instance - I have compiled names of Ficus racemosa, commonly known as cluster fig. My earnest hope is that the names put are also validated; especially please point out any errors / mistakes. Regards. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "indiantreepix" group.
