On behalf of Måns Broo, who is a member of the list
but for some reason unable to post, I wonder if anyone can
help in identifying the following species of flowers
mentioned in a Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava ritual text in Sanskrit
(c. 16th century). The names in brackets are given by a
commentator as iti prasiddham, but a search of
Hindi and Bengali dictionaries has yielded no results so
far:
kāṇva (kaṇahulī)
purandhrī (puṅgavī)
śikhin (curiyā)
rotakī
timirā (triṃtara)
villātaka
possibly
bhallātaka (
GDVB)
Best wishes,
Martin Gansten
