Indica in Malayalam
Indica is not an English word with a Malayalam equivalent; it is the Latin half of a botanical name. Both entries here are Malayalam plant names whose scientific labels end in indica, and അശോകം (ashokam) is the tree Saraca indica.
Saraca indica.
മുറ്റത്ത് ഒരു അശോകം പൂത്തുനിൽക്കുന്നു.
muttathu oru ashokam poothunilkkunnu.
An ashoka tree stands blooming in the yard.
All Malayalam words for “indica”
- അശോകം (ashokam) — Saraca indica.
- തുമ്പ (thumba) — A medicinal plant (Leuca Indica).
അശോകം (ashokam) names the ashoka tree and തുമ്പ (thumba) a small medicinal herb, so both are species names rather than translations of indica.
Common questions
How do you say indica in Malayalam?
It does not translate. Indica only marks a species as Indian in botanical Latin, and these two words are the Malayalam names of such plants.
What is thumba used for?
തുമ്പ (thumba) is a small white-flowered herb, gathered for the Onam floral arrangements and used in traditional medicine.
