Dear Dinesh Ji, Flora Indica doesn't mention any Bengali name for this plant. Hortus Suburbanus Calcuttensis also gives no Bengali name.
Bengal Plants does mention it as SHIMIA BATRAJI, so does An English Index.... (Piddington). The Bengali script could be any of শিমিয়া বাতরাজি / শিমিয়া বতরাজি / শিমীয়া বত্রাজি . But, i am not sure if this name is popular here. For An English Index to the Plants of India also mentions one plant, *Dolichos glutinosus*, as SHIMI BATRAJEE in Hindi. It seems to me that the above mentioned Bengali name for *Pueraria tuberosa* comes from Greater Bengal, in those days. Regards, surajit On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 11:40 AM, J.M.
