Thanks Ramasamy ji for validation.
Nux Vomica is popular in homeopathy - perhaps the plant is cultivated in suitable environment; OR parts of plant could be imported for making medicine,
The names have links embedded - please click on them - the links will lead to pages where reference information is put; they too have links embedded.
Both of these have entries in Tamil dictionary as strychnine tree - Please correct me if any error.

Regards.
Dinesh

Dear all, 
The name karun gali- கருங்காலி and katu maram- காட்டு மரம் may not be for nux vomica. 

Karungali don't grow in tamilnadu's plains. Nux vomica is a tree of dry zones.

We need to explore more in this.
