very apt and appropraite information, Viplav, thank you I find that often what Dr/vaidya Zala write as gujrarati names of medicinal plants do not match with what i find in Bapalal Vaidyas book . and sometimes not even in Dr. Patel's guj forest flora etc. His must be truly local vernacular names that never got in any academic books. yes the વેણી વેલ sounds like a gajara of flower that women use ie વેણી.
Besides that I do not really see five leaflets even after enlarging, DInesh. Am i missing something? usha di On Wed, Oct 10, 2018 at 9:21 PM J.M.
