Exceptionally, for the Thai names in this genus I have favoured over every other source, those found in the index of the DNP ( Thai Plant Names ). I normally rely on the Thai2English.com dictionary. The main reason is that we are dealing with highly specific vocabulary that most other dictionaries will not comprehende or cover very superficially. Going to the main authoritative source is therefore highly justified. When several Thai synonyms are given, the names with 2 forms of romanization are the preferred names. Ex. ตะโกสวน dtà-goh-sŭuan (tako suan).
