While compiling names for *Hygrophila ringens*, I found this name ಮೈತಳ meitala <https://archive.org/stream/tuluenglishengli01mnuoft#page/564/mode/2up/search/meitala> in Tulu-English Dictionary (1886) by Rev. A. Männer The entry in dictionary says the plant (*Ruellia ringens*) is used in medicine and purifying salt.
Perhaps, *Asystasia gangetica* has similar properties. Thus the name maithala kaddi will be ಮೈತಳ ಕಡ್ಡಿ ... ಕಡ್ಡಿ kaddi = small stick, slender rod. Regards.
