Dear Mahadeswara ji, Please check whether we can give a name to *Dicliptera foetida* (Forssk.) Blatt. on lines of the English descriptive name "*stinking foldwing*" given by dear Tabish (Flowers of India) - the name is derived from the scientific name.
My attempt is loose translation of *stinking foldwing* = *ಗಬ್ಬು ಪದರುಪಕ್ಷ gabbu padarupaksha* You may please suggest any better name OR validate my suggested name. I have used Google Translate and Alar - an authoritative Kannada-English dictionary corpus created by V. Krishna - *ಗಬ್ಬು gabbu* ... noun ... 1) a strong, offensive smell or odour; stink; stench; 2) any dirty, stinking material. - *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.
