Thanks very much, dear Mahadeswara ji, for coining this name. I had discussed with Vijayasankar ji for coining a Tamil name for *Bonnaya gracilis* based on the name "thanni poondu" given to *Bonnaya antipoda*. I too was under the impression that "poondu" means garlic. However, he pointed out that the word "poondo" in this context means "herb", thus "thanni poondu" would mean "aquatic herb".
Therefore, I request you to think in terms of the generic "aquatic herb" ... perhaps, ನೀರು ಸೊಪ್ಪು neeru soppu. I leave it to your discretion. Regards.
