  1. Hi,

    I think you are embarking on an excellent direction on plants. I'm very much interested in knowing about plants(particularly herbal varieties) known in Tamil and English. Most of the time I cannot relate the Tamil plant names in English and/or vice versa.

    Do you have any details about Tulasi, Mullai, Jathi Malli, Arugam Pul and their respective English names? Appreciate that alot. Thanks a Zillion.

    Cheers,
    Bageswari

  2. Dear Bageswari,

    Thank you, for all those words of encouragement. I badly needed some!

    The purpose of this blog is to tell our folks the Tamil names of the plants here, wild or cultivated, hoping it would create an interest in them and that they may do a follow-up finding their uses. But I can help a little with that too.

    Of the Tulasi, Mullai, Jathi Malli and Arugu, I will post as soon as I locate their pictures in my albums.

    Comming up..
