Thank you very much Usha Di. I anticipated that you might have worked on it!
It is interesting that while Sir Prain, following Hooker, cited Roxburgh's *Baeobotrys indica* & *B. nemoralis* for *Maesa indica*, Haines, following Hooker, thought *Maesa indica* was partly synonymous with *M. montana* DC. Similarly, Voigt thought *Baeobotrys indica* is synonymous with *Maesa lanceolata*! However, latest info from FoC <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=119441> informs they are different taxa. It is furthermore interesting that even website of Bangladesh, where those trees are/were found, doesn't provide Bengali name - 1. http://www.mpbd.info/plants/maesa-indica.php 2. http://www.mpbd.info/plants/maesa-acuminata.php Regards On Sun, Sep 14, 2014 at 8:45 AM, Ushadi Micromini <[email protected] > wrote: > not Jones' > its monier -williams's dictionary cited > sorry, somehow my hand must have hit the send button area on the screen > > I aslo had searched ayurvedic books and some kabiraji books in bangla ... > no ramjani... there are many plants whose name starts with Ram- but no > ramjani plant. or herb or medicine. > > really Ram must jano know.// god knows. > > On Sun, Sep 14, 2014 at 8:41 AM, Ushadi Micromini < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Dinesh and Surajit >> I also searched in the books I have even in tribal medicine books >> including Assamese but did not find ramjani...!!!! >> >> Surajit's explanation sounds closer to home truth, many Sahib >> "researcher" relied on local servants for names of local vegetation. >> Jones's dictionary is often cited by Sanskrit scholars oas one such widely >> used book... >> >> >> >> >> On Sun, Sep 14, 2014 at 12:23 AM, Dinesh Valke <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Many many thanks Surajit ji for the clarification. >>> Regards. >>> Dinesh >>> >>> On Sat, Sep 13, 2014 at 11:11 PM, surajit koley < >>> [email protected]> wrote: >>> >>>> I do not know, for neither Roxburgh nor Voigt provided any Bengali >>>> name.
