Thanks very much, Sam ji, for the appreciation. I was not able to find any Malayalam name for this plant. I think we should be able to coin a Malayalam name on lines of Marathi name "लाजाळू कवला lajalu kawla" ... here "लाजाळू lajalu" = shy ... may be "ലജ്ജയുള്ള മുതിര" or any other word instead of ലജ്ജയുള്ള. No hurry dear Sam ji, and please ignore the request if coining this name is cumbersome.
