Dear Dinesh sir,

Just now my another friend from Upper Assam informed some names for
these plants:

Portulaca oleracea: In Upper Assam they call it "Hanh-
thengia" (because the leaves look like "Legs of a duck"), Hanh = Hans
(Hindi) and Teng =Taang (Hindi)

Bodo people of Assam call it "Mephrai".

Oxalis corniculata is called as "Tengesi" in Upper Assam. 'Tenga'
means 'Sour' in Assamese.

Hope this will be an addition to your database.

Regards,
Ritesh.
