Dear Sam ji, Let me put here for sake of reference, our conversation regarding the coining of the Malayalam name for *Peristylus lawii* Wight
A joint word flower-arrow that literally translates to പൂവമ്പ് poovambu will be used as a generic name for *Peristylus* spp. and specifically for *P. lawii*, the prefix മഞ്ഞുള്ള manjulla = misty ... suggestive of the plant's moist habitat is coined. Thus മഞ്ഞുള്ള പൂവമ്പ് manjulla poovambu, a coined name in Malayalam, for *Peristylus lawii* Wight Many thanks Sam ji for your help in coining the name.
