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.
