Tribulus terrestris:
Today at Alibag coast
Tribulus terrestris
Marathi name Gokharu

if I am not mistaken, it is totally some thing different. The leaves are simple is your plant, and fruit slightly similar just in topography.


Extremely sorry,
It is Pedalium murex
Marathi common name remains same

Had heard about Gokharu Khada but never seen the flower looks interesting appears to have one bigger petal than the rest


Yes …, this is Pedalium murex. Nice catch.

Both Malayalam and English spelling of one name is correct, I think the Malayalam name of this plant is related to it’s thorns, മുള്ള് mullu means thorny.  So I think more desirable Malayalam name is second mentioned കാക്കമുൾ kaakkamull and more fluent name is കാക്കമുള്ള് kaakkamullu.  The partially name ‘മുല്ല mulla’ means jasmine in കാക്കമുല്ല kaakkamulla.


Many thanks, …, for validating the Malayalam names, suggesting appropriate change in Malayalam name, and for the appreciation.


Malayalam name revised; Konkani name added …
