To: "Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994!" <goanet@lists.goanet.org> Date: Friday, August 21, 2009, 1:11 PM Frederick, I need English word for 'Shabduli', a little flower which blossoms generally in monsoon evenings and wilts by morning. It has mild fragrance and either deep or light pink petals with lightest yellow stem. The plant is no more than 2 feet high. I have not seen it in the last many many years in this conctrete jungle called Goa. Can you help me? -- FN +91-9822122436 P +91-832-2409490 Konkani adages http://konkani-adages.notlong.com/ Medieval Goa http://medieval-goa.notlong.com/
