Thank you very much Sir, once again.

And again my mailbox didn't receive your mail!

Good morning Madam

I am very sorry for not providing its Bengali names, the names are confusing though. The 'Bengal Plants', 'Flora Indica' and 'Hortus Suburbanus Calcuttensis' refer it as তুন (TOON). But, local people call it মহানিম (MAHAANEEM), though according to the 'Bengal Plants' MAHHANEEM is Melia azedarach L. Some people also call it as পাঁউ (PAU).

Thank you very much for appreciating.

Good morning Pankaj Ji

Thank you very much, it's very nice to hear/read you again, after a short break :)

I was also wondering it as a different plant until I read Pankaj ji's mail.
As per GRIN as well as The plant List the name should be Toona ciliata.
Flora of Pakistan mentions it as Cedrela toona.
Good find of a robust plant with large beautiful inflorescences.

Thank you very much Satish Sir.

One interesting point in the 'Bengal Plants' -

(i) leaves usually 7-jugately pinnate, panicles glabrous; sepals ovate-acute; capsule sub-globose...... ------ C. toona Roxb.

(ii) leaves usually 9-jugately pinnate; petiole long; panicles puberulous; sepals orbicular; capsule ellipsoid.... ------ C. microcarpa C. DC.

I was hesitant and wanted to go for the C. microcarpa.

Thanks Surajit ji for providing its name in Bengali script.

Good morning Madam

I am very happy to provide Bengali names. Earlier i skipped the names because during these three or four weeks i am very engaged in checking the answer scripts of our board exam!

A very happy week ahead to you, and all members.

Regards,

surajit

Sir,

 

Thanks for elaborate our knowledge regarding Mahaneem.

[surajit koley]

Thank you very much Sir for the interesting information on regional names of plants.

I haven't seen (didn't know) Ailanthus excelsa but 'Bengal Plant' also describes that it is MAHANIM (also GORMI-KAWAT) in Oriya. Neither Bengal Plants nor the Flora Indica gives any Bengali name for Ailanthus excelsa.

Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) is also known as Ghora neem (Ghora meaning horse) in Bengal and Assam. But I don’t know its exact relationship with horses.

Regards,

Sukla

[surajit koley]

Good morning Madam, Good morning Gurcharan Sir

Yes, Melia azedarach L.is also known as GHORA-NEEM in Bengali.

But, sometimes i think that actually it could be GORA-NEEM in older days. GORA in the sense of either Bigger or More (bitter tasted), as we have PATI-LEBU (NEBU) and GORA-LEBU (Citrus aurantifolia and C. medica).
