B.—List of Vernacular names of the Indian Aconites. 
This list is a compilation of the vernacular names of the Indian Aconites from the publications 
and collectors’ notes which have been accessible to me. Iam aware of its incompleteness. Still, I hope 
it may be of use for practical purposes and induce an expert linguist to revise and also reduce 
it. If the names which were introduced by Arab and Persian writers, as, for instance, Khanek ul 
nimr, Agelghia, Mah-farfin, etc., be cut out as foreign, it will probably be found that the 
remainder are traceable to a limited number of old names—mostly, if not exclusively, Sanskrit— 
from which the majority of the numerous vernaculars enumerated have been derived either bya 
natural process of evolution or by mere corruption. I also believe that such a critically revised 
list will show that the names had in most cases originally a sound basis, referring to roots of 
really distinct origin or to different methods of preparation. Working back in this direction, it 
might be possible to restore the vernacular nomenclature of the Indian Aconites to something like order.
