*1. Notes on Bengali names 

• Perhaps Holdey pana is a bad transcription of the word  হলদেপানা Haladēpānā ? 
• Could Sawah lettuce possibly have been confused with water spinach in Bengali. Apparently Limnocharis is harvested as an edible by some people, that would explain it. Non Bengla people quote the names Kalmi and Kengkong for Sawah lettuce. Should the names of water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) such as Bengali কলমি Kalami and Indonesian Kangkong apply here ?

*2. Note on Thai names

This is a good example showing the importance of native scripts and the error-proned romanised versions.

ผักพาย is romanised as pàk paai or phak phaai a tiny step away from being transcribed as phak phai, ผักไผ่ in native script. This later name means edible leaf and is legitimately applied to Persicaria odorata, the Vietnamese coriander, and possibly other plants. In reality it is not a huge problem given that Limnocharis is considered edible by many people around the world. The purists on the other hand would cringe at the attribution of a name to both a universally recognized edible and a plant mostly considered as a noxious weed worldwide.
