Last week I visited Kondapalli town near Vijayawada. This town is famous for wooden toys. While searching the botanical name for the tree, the wood of which is used for making toys, I came across the name Jiuotia Rotteri Fromis. The same name is mentioned when Kondapalli toys were registered for Geographical Indication. [Name of GI Registered Product : Kondapalli Bommalu State(s) :Andhra Pradesh Certificate date : 12/1/2006] (http://www.handicrafts.nic.in/cmsUpload/20170506115215GI_BOOK_FINAL_ilovepdf_compressed.PDF)
At one more place it is mentioned with same botanical name

But when I searched with this name I could not get any information about the tree on internet.
Thanks for pointing out the correct name viz. Givotia rottleriformis.
I enquired about this tree in Kondapalli town. The toy maker pointed out to a tree which was almost leafless. I wanted to confirm the tree I had photographed. Hence I had put the query in the forum. I could get a photo of couple of leaves.
The information can be summarised as
|
Name of tree |
Local name |
Used in toy manufacture at |
State |
|
Wrightia tinctoria |
Ajamara (ಅಜಮರ}, Kodamurki, Aale/ Beppale
|
Chennapattana |
Karnataka |
|
Givotia rottleriformis |
Tella poniki |
Kondapalli |
Andhra Pradesh |
Now I can confirm the tree I had photographed at 16°37'17.5"N 80°32'21.6"E is Givotia rottleriformis. I reproduce the two photos below.
