... many thanks Shekhar ji for info about genus name *Canavalia* being derived from Malayalam ranavalia I have a book - Scientific Names of Plants Explained by S. P. Dixit, which states derivation from Malabar (Malayalam) *kana valli* (വല്ലി valli refers to climber / creeper)
Malayalam knowing friends, please put some light here and it would be great if you provide it in native script also. Regards.
