Haimavati
Haimavati names Haritaki (the one born of the Himalaya) and also Vacha. In Lekhaniya, where Vacha is already listed separately, it is usually read as a Haritaki or as Shveta Vacha.

2 of these 16 names are not yet written up in Laisha's dravya library. The group is printed whole either way, because a gana with members quietly left out is not the gana.
