Dear friends,
The name kumalu seems to be shared in both languages - Kannada and Malayalam for Flemingia strobilifera. But could not succeed with any of the permutation-combination of letters of ku-ma-lu in native scripts on the internet. Please validate the name, and provide it in native scripts.



Some findings in Malayalam context ...
Vernacular name-wise search at ENVIS - FRLHT for kumalu yields F. strobilifera and Gmelina arborea.

കുമ്പിള്‍ kumpil OR കുമിഴ് kumil ... these are the names for Gmelina arborea in Malayalam ... reference: Common Flora of Kerala Forests by M S K Prathap
Would one of these OR both be valid name(s) for F. strobilifera ?

Please help.

Regards.
Dinesh

Dear friends,

Got clarity of names in Malayalam from Vinaya Raj V R in facebook ... many thanks to him.

കനലം (kanalam), കുമലു (kumalu), കുമാൻചെടി (kumaancheDi), തേരി (thEri), പോന്തോരില (pOnthOrila) are seen given for this plant in Malayalam (as per Prof. Mathew's book) - Won't get confused with Gmelina arborea which is known as കുമ്പിള്‍ (kumpi) and കുമിഴ് (kumizh)


Now, hoping to get the Kannad name for the plant.

Regards.
Dinesh

 Dear Dinesh ji,
The correct native script  for kumalu
in kannada is '' ಕುಮಳು ".   I hope the clarification is satisfactory.
