Respected @OZmic ji,

Though this topic is kind of closed but I wanted to point out a small thing.

I am NO expert at all but my mother tongue is Gujarati. 
I just checked the plant names link you have provided and one very small 
thing about Gujarati name is bugging me - the way it is written (at many 
other places the same way the name appears).
It is written: 

GUJARATI :  લિલિચા  Lilicha.

According to me it should be: 

GUJARATI :  લિલિ ચા  Lili cha.

Lili means green and cha is tea.

regards
