Viplav ji ... many many thanks for this bit of information. Keen to know of the reference/bibliography that the author may have quoted to base her writing.
Searching for the word Nouchal - one result led me to Calflora <http://www.calflora.net/southafrica/plantnamesH-O.html> though it has not much to say. Searching "Nouchal Nymph" is discouraging. At this juncture, the score is 1 each ... Nouchal (nymph) vs. Nauchali (district in Bangladesh). Regards.
