Names compiled / updated at
https://dineshvalke.blogspot.com/2023/08/lumnitzera-racemosa-willd.html Both Malayalam and English spelling are correct. Regarding the Kannada name : ತಂಡಾರ tandaara. Both Kannada name and its transliteration are correct. However, In English it can also be transliterated as thandara, Which is more appropriate. In my opinion you may keep ‘tandara’ as well as ‘thandara’. I will shortly revise the English spelling to thandaara for sake of consistency. .
