Tamil names for Spinach and Malabar Spinach

[grl95014]

I am looking for Tamil names for regular Spinach and "Malabar Spinach". I searched on the web and it seems that sometimes people confuse one for another. Thanks.

malabar spinach/ indian spinach/ ceylon spinach is called pasalai keerai

and the regular spinach, my keerai man calls it palakkeerai !! i wonder what its really called...

Thanks, Ayesha. That sounds about similar to what I heard, only many people confuse pasalai keerai and palakkeerai.
