. Tamil name nirmalli of Pseudarthria viscida : 10 posts by 5 authors.
The Tamil name நீர்மல்லி nirmalli have got listed at ENVIS-FRLHT for:
Please help in validating …
Transliteration in English for நீர்மல்லி is Neermalli (Neer = water; malli: Jasmine) and not nirmalli.
Thanks … But what could be any relation of water & jasmine to Pseudarthria viscida is quite intriguing ! The commonly used Tamil name for Hygrophila auriculata is “Neer mulli” நீர் முள்ளி (neer = water; mulli = spiny). The name “Neer malli” may refer to the floriferous nature of the plant–comparable to but not related to Jasmine (“Malli”). Thank you very much …
Perhaps ENVIS – FRLHT has a tab on original reference. But this name nirmalli is stuck (just as the name viscida) to Pseudarthria viscida all-across internet !! Both: nirmulli (water-thorn) and nirmalli (water-jasmine) belong to Hygrophila auriculata, for sure.
Must have got copy-pasted to data of P. viscida somewhere, sometime accidentally. It is found even in the book – CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants by Umberto Quattrocchi. I think it is a case of copy-pasted error. Just to add above discussion, here in north Gujarat (Vireshwar, in Sabarkantha dist) forests, We have one tree
Strychnos potatorum (other species S. nux-vomica -strychnine obtained from seeds; rather poisonous fruit/seed tree in western parts) is known as નિર્મળી, નિર્માળી (Nirmali or Nirmaali) in Gujarati. The seeds are use for water purification (purity નિર્મળ- Nirmal). The same tree in central part of gujarat is known as તડતડિયો (Tadtadiyo) as while burining its dry branches, nodes generates small cracker like sound.
I am mentioning just because the name / pronunciation matches with the awareness that the plant in discussion is different.

I am forwarding herewith the photographs from Chennai taken last week (26.1.22). Please Id the plant. Pods are flat and minutely hairy and stick to the body. Fabaceae member: Desmodium species ??? Pseudarthria visida . ID KZD041122: 1 image Desmodium scorpiurus (Sw.) Desv. ex DC. ?? No more images ? I feel there appears to be two species- both flowers and leaves belong to different species. I don’t know exactly. But l have not seen the inflorescence of species scorpiurus that much long… To me inflorescence seems Ok as per Not Desmodium; Pseudarthria viscida. Yes, you are right as per images at . Pseudarthria viscida (L.) Wight & Arn. :: Waghbil, Thane, Maharashtra :: Sep 27, 2008 · JUN23 DV109: Pseudarthria viscida (L.) Wight & Arn.
