This is known in Bihar and UP as शमी and Rajpoot/Kshatriya people worship it ...it has got a place in rituals of marriage even !  ...everytime in discussion with non-botanist people from those two states , they never accept Prosopis cinerea as Shami .
..................................
This is one (of many) glaring example why BN is so essential .

Revised, added shami in 3 languages - Hindi, Kannada and Tulu. In Karnataka too, it seems this plant is given the "honour" of shami, which I had disregarded considering the listing must have been in error.
