        as far as i know, lavali is a generic plant name.
        it maight stand for a flower or a leaf.
        is it tamalapaaku ? srisri used lavali in his puzzzles
        as a synonym for a flower. he also cited manucaritra
        "phulla lavalee......" as support to his claim that
        this word means a whilte (moon-shine) flower.
