ZIZ-ih-fuss -- an ancient Greek name derived from the Persian word zizafun ... Dave's Botanary

botanical names: Ziziphus caracutta Roxb., Fl. Ind. 2: 361. 1824 & Fl. Ind. 1: 612. 1832. ... synonyms: Ziziphus xylopyrus var. glaberrima Sedgew. in Indian For. 45: 71. 1919. • Ziziphus glaberrima Santapau in J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 51(4): 803. 1953 & Fl. Saurashtra 94. 1962. ... Botanical Survey of India 

Ziziphus xylopyrus (Retz.) Willd. ... synonyms: Ziziphus caracutta Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb. ... and more at India Biodiversity Portal 

Notes from Botanical Survey of India: Ziziphus caracutta Roxb. was described in 1824. Later authors reduced it as a synonym of Z. xylopyrus var. glaberrima. Santapau (1953) raised it to the status of a species Z. glaberrima. A critical study of the above two taxa reveals that they are conspecific and therefore, they are treated here under a single taxon Z. caracutta, being the earliest valid name.

Nice Photograph Dinesh Sir. As usual outstanding. 
It's called घोट्या in marathi in our region. A medium sized tree and mostly used as a Goat fodder plant.
but as per IPNI and The Plant list, Ziziphus xylopyrus (Retz.) Willd. is the accepted name.
Experts comments, please! ☺🙏

Thanks Garg ji.
Thanks Amit ji for the appreciation and the local name - will add it in names database. 

The name Ziziphus caracutta Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb. is hardly popular; it is a unresolved name at The Plants List; put as a synonym of Ziziphus xylopyrus (Retz.) Willd. at some sites, including India Biodiversity Portal, while at Botanical Survey of India, it has a very far relation to Z. xylopyrus. But the small note at the end of page is interesting, worth heeding.

I hope those studying the Ziziphus genus in India, throw more light by sorting their species.

Regards.
Dinesh

Yes,  I know,  Dinesh ji. 
I was talking regarding it's relationship with respect to xylopyrus. If I remember correctly,  there was a discussion in the matter in some efi threads.
