Something like this: ASSAMESE: BENGALI : ENGLISH : 1.Leaf, 2. leaves, 3 flower, 4. fruit, 5. tree GUJARATI : HINDI : 1. , 2. फूल phula, 3. , 4. फल phala 5. पेड़ per KANNADA : MALAYALAM : MARATHI : NEPALI : ORIYA : PUNJABI : SANSKRIT : TAMIL : 1., 2. இலைகள் ilaikal, 3 மலர் , 4. பழம் palam, 5. மரம் maram TELUGU : URDU : + Any other language. Basic colors as well or combinations such as red-leaved, green-leaved, blue-flowered, white-flowered etc. Your imagination is the limit. They must be name components that are common in plant names however. I leave this basic idea with you all.
