Thanks very much, Sam ji, for the appreciation, and for validating the Malayalam coined name.
It is good to give a prefix to the name *tharuthaaval* or *tharuthaval. *... otherwise all *Spermacoce* spp. will be known by only one name. I added വിദേശ videsha (= foreign) to imply that this particular species is introduced and now has got naturalized in some parts of south India. Is there any other word that we can stick to *tharuthaaval* ? ... It will be a great help. If not, I will go ahead to change the name and reduce it to just *tharuthaaval*. Regards.
