Thank you very much Saroj ji ... I did not take any effort to check whether cultivated in Nepal.
I will soon add this name to my notes.
By any chance, if Salvadora oleoides is cultivated OR planted in garden, let me know its Nepali name.

Regards.

Did not find any cultivated plant of Salvadora oleoides but only in the wild as far as I know.
Its Nepali name is सानो दाँते ओखर Saano Daante Okhar 

Thank you.

Thank you very much Saroj ji for help with names of both species of Salvadora.
It is interesting to note that Salvadora oleoides is found in wild in Nepal, which I thought was found only in hot arid regions.
Regards.

Thanks very much Anil ji for the appreciation.
I do revise every species page to include the names that I compile.
