Please help with the name of Cayratia pedata: goalilata or goalia-lata in Bangla script.
Reference: Botanical Survey of India | Flora of Assam Vol. I. (Part II)
I am giving below the bengali script. In Bengali, Lata means climber. In the first word, i. e. Goalilata, I feel that Goali should be separated from Lata as given herewith.
Whether all volumes of Flora of Assam are available online?
গোয়ালি লতা, গোয়ালিয়া-লতা Thanks once again very much … for the help. About Flora of Assam, I found following links (not sure whether these comprise all the volumes):
While লতা = creeper, vine … I am wondering what is literal meaning of গোয়ালি or গোয়ালিয়া.
Ampelocissus latifolia also is given the name gowalia lata at some references.
Perhaps another name govila may help in getting some clue.
I express my sincere thanks for providing the valuable links leading to the Flora of Assam which is not available in BHL and Botanicus. I have downloaded all. At first I thought that someone has published a revised Flora of Assam! Anyway, I do not have to go to a library now for seeing this basic book. Prof. S. K. Borthakur of Guwahati University and his students are likely to publish the same in near future.
As regards Lata in Bengali, the meaning that you have given is okay. But there is absolutely no meaning of Goali, Gowalia or Govali. There is Goala meaning milk man and Goal meaning cow shed but the others do not make any sense. At least I do not know it. I find the name is used by the Bhumij tribe as put in a white paper.
I find গোয়ালিয়া লতা in a couple of web pages:
Both the pages discuss plants; thus good to go with the name.

Local name :Kali Pirandai Yes it is Cayratia Thanks for the genus level validation. I understand from Frlht ‘s vernacular names that Cayratia sp are called Kattu Pirandai in Tamil. This is Cayratia pedata, also called as ‘panni kodi’ in Tamil, since the wild pigs (wild boars) are fond of the tuberous roots of this plant. I think it may be Cayratia tenuifolia (Wight & Arn.) Gagnep. or C. japonica (most likely) being 5 pedately foliolate as per Keys in Flora of Peninsular India
Cayratia tenuifolia (Wight & Arn.) Gagnep.: GBIF Kerala Plants researchgate Flora of Peninsular India
C. japonica: GBIF Wikimedia Commons FoC illustration India Biodiversity Portal Flora of Peninsular India It looks Tetrastigma leucostaphylum to me. Looks different from Tetrastigma leucostaphylum (Dennst.) Alston ex Mabb.
I think more closer to Tetrastigma sulcatum (P. Lawson) Gamble as per comparative images at Tetrastigma Seems to be Cayratia japonica I think it is Cayratia pedata only (as originally identified by Vijayasankar ji) as per images and details herein.
