Exactly, Dinesh i did the same searches now and in the past week or since we started on Nouchali word.
I searched for nymphs in greek lit sites no nouchali. may be its an obscure nymph that appears in a are page... i have decided to call JU and CU or St Xavier's department of classics if they have such a thing anymore... and see if I can go and meet with some one.. next week . And then there is someone Hugh Clarke who had something to do with it... this came up when i searched for the lady who wrote the book Viplav mentioned... and who is Burm f. who is attributed as having named or classified the species of lily... as in paper: Megagametophyte development of *Nymphaea nouchali* Burm. f. (Nymphaeaceae) Botanical Journal of the Linnean Societyvolume 126,, <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/boj.1998.126.issue-4/issuetoc> Issue 4 <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/boj.1998.126.issue-4/issuetoc> <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/boj.1998.126.issue-4/issuetoc> pages 339–348, April 1998. etc And I found ref to a phd 2013 thesis from MS univ Baroda that seems to have mentioned Nouchali nymph, but quickly perusing its pages i don't find it.. seems i have to read all of it 246+ pages... adobe does not let me find a word in it as does any number of wordprocessing programmes. we will get to bottom of this sooner or later.. now that Viplav has given us this lead. usha di On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 12:27 AM, Dinesh Valke <[email protected]> wrote: > 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 ...
