Dear friends, I would like to know about the Hindi name खेत पापड़ (khet papar) for *Mollugo pentaphylla* खेत = field; पापड़ = thin, crisp cakes made from flour, that serve as an accompaniment to main meal The plant could be finding fields as a good habitat; but how does पापड़ fit into the common name ? Please help me in knowing which aspect of the plant is thin, wafer-like in context of *Mollugo pentaphylla*. The name is derived from the Sanskrit name पर्पट parpata for several plants - having the same meaning. Regards.
