Well, Dinesh you do find unusual stuff, I am glad . ANd Surajit you are diligent.
Dr. Kalipada Biswas and Ekkodi Ghosh list it as E. latifolia Linn. and give bangla name same as : গুয়ারা what Surajit typed above , and they do mention that it also grows in chattagram area and Kumayun ( hills, i guess) and that there is a kumayun name: মীজহাণলা as in mij-hanla. I trust Ekkodi mahashay and Dr Biswas... they were both at the Royal Bot garden as our Shibpur Bot G was known then ....
