Deer's Tongue


Explanation:
[I'm guessing that] the Malay name is a translation from the English. However, a search on 'deer tongue' gives several different plants, each with different scientific names.

http://www.ppws.vt.edu/scott/weed_id/pancl.htm
Deer tongue grass or Deer tongue panic grass
Scientific name: Panicum clandestinum or Dichanthelium clandestinum

http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/d/deerst10.html
Deer's tongue or Vanilla Leaf or Wild Vanilla
Scientific name: Liatris odoratissima or Trilissia odorata

Then there's http://www.stellarseeds.com/product.asp?ID=113
Deer Tongue Lettuce
Scientific name: Lactuca sativa

Sorry, this is not an answer, just a few guesses.
