Malayalam name for Memecylon terminale Dalzell<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Memecylon terminale<\/i>\u00a0Dalzell, is the\u00a0smallest of all Memecylon<\/em> species in India, and is reported to be found only in four states of India – Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu.<\/div>\n
Now, we need to give a name to this species. Popular species is\u00a0Memecylon umbellatum<\/i>\u00a0Burm.f. … it has following names: \u0d15\u0d3e\u0d2f\u0d3e\u0d35\u0d4d, \u0d05\u0d1e\u0d4d\u0d28\u0d2e\u0d30\u0d02, \u0d15\u0d28\u0d32\u0d3f, \u0d06\u0d28\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d4a\u0d2e\u0d4d\u0d2a\u0d3f<\/div>\n
I propose …\u00a0\u0d1a\u0d46\u0d31\u0d3f\u0d2f \u0d15\u0d3e\u0d2f\u0d3e\u0d35\u0d4d cheriya kaayaavu<\/span>\u00a0… I hope this name looks and sounds good.<\/div>\n

The common Malayalam name for ‘Memecylon’ is \u0d15\u0d3e\u0d2f\u0d3e\u0d2e\u0d4d\u0d2a\u0d42 kaayamboo.

Tamil name for Memecylon terminale Dalzell<\/a>:
\nPlease help in giving a name to a rare Memecylon species – Memecylon terminale Dalzell; it is the smallest among Indian species.
\nTamil name for Memecylon umbellatum Burm.f. is \u0b95\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbe
\nWill …\u00a0 \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0baf \u0b95\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbe chiriya kaya … be a good enough name ?
\nPlease let me know your thoughts.<\/p>\n
\n

That name is good for describing the plant, but I think \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbe (chiru kaya) or \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9 \u0b95\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbe (chinna kaya) would be better as a name.<\/p>\n
