https://dineshvalke.blogspot.com/2024/05/portulaca-oleracea-l.html As far as I know current Kashmiri name is “Nunnar.” Would request … opinion on the same
Do you mean to say among the two Kasmiri names listed: कुन kuna & नुनर् nunar … the name कुन kuna is no longer used OR is now considered obsolete ?
I found कुन kuna in George Abraham Grierson’s “A dictionary of the Kashmiri language“
All the names are correct except one uppucheera. I will correct the English typo uupucheera to uppucheera. Typo in the English spelling of Malayalam name corrected … commonly known as: common purslane • Adi: dongal oying, gubor oying • Apatani: lai hamang, pathavi • Assamese: মালভোগ খুতুৰা শাক malbhog khutur shaak • Bengali: বড় লনিয়া bara laniya, সি কলস ghee kalam, নুনিয়া nunia • Bhojpuri: नोनीया साग noneeya saag • Bodo: hangsogarmai • Dogri: कुल्फा kulfa, लूनक loonak • Garo: gagakjapha • Gujarati: મોટી લુણી moti luni • Hindi: घोल ghol, कांडली kandli, लोणा lona, लोनिया loniya, नूनिया nuniya • Kachchhi: કુનબો kunbo, લાખા લુણી lakha luni, વડી લુણી vadi luni • Kannada: ದೊಡ್ಡ ಗೋಣಿ ಸೊಪ್ಪು dodda goni soppu, ಕಿರುಗೋಣಿ kirugoni • Kashmiri: कुन kuna, नुनर् nunar • Konkani: गोळ gol • Malayalam: കൊഴുപ്പ kozhuppa, മണൽചീര manalcheera, ഉപ്പുചീര uppucheera • Manipuri: ꯂꯩꯕꯥꯛ ꯀꯨꯟꯗꯣ leibak kundo • Marathi: घोळ ghol • Mizo: an-thau, hlo-thau • Nepali: गड्यॉउला झार gadyaulaa jhaar, कुल्फा साग kulfaa saag, नोना nonaa, नून ढिकी noon dhikee, पाइते झार paaite jhaar • Nyishi: osit oyik, pali echi, tadar-oo • Odia: ଲୋଣୀ loni • Persian: خرفه khurfa • Punjabi: ਧਮਣੀ dhamni, ਕੁਲਫਾ kulfa, ਲੂਨਕ lunak • Rajasthani: लूणखा lunkha, लूंणक्यो lunkio • Sanskrit: घोटिका ghotica, लोणिका lonika • Santali: ᱢᱚᱴᱟ ᱩᱨᱤᱪ ᱟᱞᱟᱝ mota uric alan • Tagin: tadar-oo • Tamil: கோழிக்கீரை koli-k-kirai, பருப்புக்கீரை paruppu-k-kirai • Telugu: బొడ్డు పావిలికూర boddu pavilikura, గంగాబాయిలికూర gangabaili kura, పప్పుకూర pappukura, పెద్ద పావిలికూర pedda pavilikura • Tulu: ಗೋಳಿಪದ್ಪೆ golipadpe • Urdu: گهول ghol, کانڐلي kandli, لونا lona, لونيا loniya, نونيا nuniya I have never heard the name “kuna” used for this plant. Nunnar is the name used and it also resembles the Hindi nuniya. Hassan Shah in his encyclopedic book “Tareekh Hassan” (written in 1885) gives its name as Nunnar (Editor of the book identifies it as Khulfa. ) Its Unani name used by Hakeems is Baqlat ul Humqa and its Unani Medical nature is cold and moist . He mentions a plant with name Kuna Kuch and gives its Hindi Name as Kuchu. The Editor of the book identifies it with a plant with the Hindi name Phain chitr. Lawrence in his book “The Valley of Kashmir (p 71)” mentions Kuna as a plant the appearance of which in popular lore heralds a famine . It could be that in Grierson’s book the word Kuna may have been printed in the wrong place. Many many thanks for elaborating and pointing to the error in the entry of कुन kuna as a name for Portulaca oleracea L. in Grierson’s dictionary. This is a great help.
I will remove the name from the compilation shortly.
Removed inadvertent entry of a Kashmiri name …

A villager from a remote village of South Kashmir to whom I showed a plant of wild Chenopodium album identified it as Kuna . A cultivated variety of the same is popular in Kashmir and is called “Wusta Hak”. There is a popular belief that Wusta Hak should only be eaten in Spring and not in Summer and hence it is sold in the local markets only in Spring. Hassan in his book Tareekh e Hassan gives the Hindi name of of Wusta Hak as Bathua. Wusta Hak according to me is Atriplex hortensis, it was grown in our house in Kashmir in our Kitchen Garden by my bhabi. Yes Nunar is Portulaca oleracea, it is in my Book, Forest Flora of Srinagar and Plants of neighbourhood. Thanks for giving the correct ID of Wusta Hak. I was misled as Hassan has wrongly given its Hindi name as Bathua
I was always curious about true ID of Wusta Hak and you have solved my problem
Would like to thank Gurcharan Ji for information about his book “Forest Flora of Srinagar” and keeping a copy of it freely available at Archives.org from where I could download a PDF file of the book.

Local name-Dali-arak
Date-25th June, 2019
Place-Khunti, Jharkhand
Two images are from different plants.
For 2nd image, pl. check comparative images at Amaranthus
Yes, first one is Portulaca oleracea and second one seems to be Amranthus viridis…
first one (Dali arak) is Portulaca oleracea; Fam. – Portulacaceae. Also called as Golgola saag in Jharkhand.
second is Khudi bhaji saag – Amaranthus viridis. Fam. – Amaranthaceae
… name of Portulaca oleracea in Assamiya: Dear Assamiya-knowing friends, Don’t know about transliteration but from my Useful Plant of India it is Noniya (perhaps first word) the second I guess should be saag
Assamese name for plant is Noniya
Could find it from online transliteration to be chanikya saag. Yes, noniya OR nuniya is a popular name for Portulaca oleracea in Bengal and Assam. [image: Discussions at efloraofindia] <>

botanical name: Portulaca oleracea L. Have set incremental goal … first compiling names for the native flora that is found in my collection (Western Ghats in my vicinity) … next, eFI & FOI … can go at it with the only option … slowly and steadily !!!
Nooniya is not name we recognize in urban west bengal, namely mostly West Bengal and its vicinity…
all saag sellers are village women who come to Calcutta markets with their haul of yesterday from their village tanks, riverbanks, forests…. 1: They and our non-english reading and speaking Bengali folks… call it LOONE saak লুনে শাক… so I wanted to be sure before I responded…. Supporting Reference for this is in a booklet called: ” Banglar Saak” dated March 2003 published by The DEVELOPMENT Research Communication and Services Center, 18 b Gariahat Road, Dhakuria, Kolkata 700031. (I would like to send the pic of the cover and the page with this saak of the book but there is no option here to include an attachment, or I have just not found it, not smart enough I guess) !!! 2: Santhal tribals in Bengal call it Golgol-sag.. Reference: TRIBAL MEDICINE by Dr. DC Pal and SK Jain…page 216. published 1997 Kolkata.by Naya Prokas Kolkata ISN 81-85421-307.. 3: My servants recognize it, eat it and buy it sometimes…from our local market… There is one growing in my balcony at the base of my potted Adenium obesum….that single loone saag has also developed the telltale yellow tiny flowers…
I would recognize portulaca any way… it was a common weed in upstate NY countryside and on many a weekends I have gone on hikes with my herbal medicine teachers, we would pick Portulaca among many things from the pristine woods, and eat them in our salad for lunch or add in the sandwiches… nowadays green grocers carry it all over NYC…. sorry to respond so late… but it took a while to dig out skinny botany books in Bengali script.. You must be right. My information Noniya as Assamese name is based on CSIR publication, Useful Plants of India. To me now, getting common names validated is seeming just as important as botanical names. And yes, my source says Baraloniya in Bengali
L should be logical:
Baralaniya in Hindi Motiloni in Gujarati Brihalloni, lanika and lonamla in Sanskrit Lonak in Punjab We observe that the names in most of the languages have an adjective prefixed implying “large” OR “big”. One of my Assamese friends transliterated চানেকীয়া শাক as Chanekiya Haak. And most probably this chanekiya haak OR chanikya saag is a generic name for sour greens (though not sure). … just found from few resources on internet that smaller version of loniya OR luniya would be species of Oxalis … there could possibly be some other plant(s) too. … the name lonamla (Sanskrit: लोणाम्ला) is more apt for Oxalis pusilla as per online Sanskrit dictionaries, one of is Monier-Williams Dictionary <http://www.sanskrita.org/wiki/index.php/loNa>. Just now my another friend from Upper Assam informed some names for these plants:
