Wow! What abundance of local names! And I notice that you have arranged the languages alphabetically. Probably a future change at FOI site.
And a great identification too!
Fabulous show!

Thanks very much, Tabish.

This one C. thymifolia, is thus definitely a old native of our country ... this also helped me decide ruling out another close species C. prostrata which is hardly discussed.
