Eddie, Pratap Naik sj of the Thomas Stevens Konkanni Kendr has planted, in the TSKK garden at Alto Porvorim (alongside the Xavier Centre for Historical Research), some 100+ plants from Goa. He plans to cover almost every major fruit-bearing/flowering plant from the region. He has labelled each neatly with their Latin/local (Konkani) names. Where Konkani names do not exist, he has created names for some. Will forward this to him to see if he has an answer. You would know Fr Naik better in the context of being the director of the TSKK and the livewire behind the Roman Konkani campaign. Expats could learn from visiting both his institution and its garden.

I wonder if it comes from Mount Carmel. Have noy yet visited the famed mount; does it have a profusion of these blooms?

Excerpts: Richard Zimler has won global acclaim for his novels about the Portuguese Jewish diaspora. He stormed the bestseller lists in two continents with The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon The book yoked its sketches of secret lore to a meaty and moving historical saga which introduced the Zarco dynasty of Portuguese Jews. Zimler never harboured plans to write a series but Zarcos returned, first in Africa and then, battling the Inquisition, in the Goa of his Guardian of the Dawn. Now, in The Seventh Gate (Constable, £7.99), the family takes a fourth bow 1655 words.

My wife, is an avid Zimler fan. Last year she was traveling home from the office, got into a tube train and pulled out Guardian of the Dawn to continue reading it.

I quite forgot that I have a copy of: DALGADO. Daniel Gelanio: Flora de Goa e Savantvadi. Lisbon. 1898. 290 p. The pages of my copy were still uncut but delving into it, on page 152, Dalgado gives the Konkani name of Bougainvillea spectabilis as Bugamvil. Could it be that Alfred and Fr Naik have named other species of Bougainvillea such as Bougainvillea buttiana, Bougainvillea glabra, Bougainvillea peruviana and Bougainvillea? Photographs of some of them are at http://www.hear.org/starr/hiplants/images/thumbnails/html/bougainvillea_sp.h tm Eddie Fernandes On 09/03/07, pratap naik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear FN, Bougainvillea is called in Konknni as Kanttiechim Fulam or Petrolichim Fulam.
