@Dr Phadke I liked the name in Marathi and so looked up a bit about this English Name - Slender Dwarf Morning-Glory.
Sanskrit - harikranthijam, vishnudayitham, neelapushpi. hindi - vishnukrantha,shankapushpi Tamil - vishnukranthi Malayalam - vishnukranthi(വിഷ്ണുക്രാന്തി), krishnakranthi(കൃഷ്ണക്രാന്തി). Not that I understand Malyalam ha ha. I had heard about the name Shankhapushpi and yes it has medicinal properties *AYURVEDIC PROPERTIES Rasa : Katu, Tikta Guna : Rooksha, Teekshna Virya : Ushna MEDICINAL PROPERTIES The plant pacifies vitiated pitta, asthma, falling and graying of hair, general debility and memory loss. Parts used: whole plant* *Regards* *Bhagyashri* * * * * On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 6:41 PM, Satish Phadke <drsmpha...@gmail.com> wrote: > Evolvulus alsinoides indeed. > Vishnukrant in Marathi. > Dr Phadke > > On 9/19/11, Madhuri Raut <itii...@gmail.com> wrote: > > wow I cannot stop admiring these beautiful flowers > > Regards > > Bhagyashri > > > > On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 2:15 PM, Giby Kuriakose > > <giby.kuriak...@gmail.com>wrote: > > > >> *Evolvulus alsinoides* of Convolvulaceae family. > >> > >> > >> > >> Regards, > >> Giby > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> On 19 September 2011 14:10, Rathinasabapathy Bhuvaragasamy < > >> brspa...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> > >>> Pl. find the attached file contain photos id. > >>> > >>> Date/Time-Location- 19.09.2011, Codisia Road > >>> Place, Altitude, GPS- Coimbatore, Near Air Port > >>> Habitat- Garden/ Urban, Road side > >>> Type-Plant Habit- Herb- > >>> Sze- Flowers Size/ Colour- Blue > >>> > >>> > >>> Thanks > >>> > >>> B.
