Dear Mahadeswara ji,
Please check whether we can give a name to *Dicliptera cuneata* Nees on
lines of the English descriptive name "wedge-leaf foldwing" given by dear
Tabish (Flowers of India) - the name is derived from the scientific name.

My attempt is loose translation of *wedge-leaf foldwing* = *ಕೂಟ ಎಲೆ
ಪದರುಪಕ್ಷ*
You may please suggest any better name OR validate my suggested name.


I have used Google Translate and Alar - an authoritative Kannada-English
dictionary <https://alar.ink/> corpus created by V. Krishna

   - *ಕೂಟ kūṭa* ... noun ... a piece of hard material, as wood or metal,
   tapering from a thick back to a thin edge that can be driven or forced into
   a narrow opening, as to split wood, close a fissure, etc.; a wedge.
   - *ಎಲೆ ele* ... noun ... (gen.) a lateral outgrowth from a plant stem
   that is typically a flattened expanded variably shaped greenish organ,
   constitutes a unit of the foliage, and functions primarily in food
   manufacture by photosynthesis; a leaf of a plant.
   - *ಪದರು padaru* ... noun ... a folded part; a fold; a layer.
   - *ಪಕ್ಷ pakṣa* ... noun ... one of the movable feathered or membranous
   paired appendages by means of which a bird, bat or insect is able to fly; a
   wing.


Regards.
Dinesh
