Dear Dinesh ji,

The common Malayalam name for 'Memecylon' is കായാമ്പൂ kaayamboo.

Cheriya kaayavu ചെറിയ കായാവ് is an appropriate name.

With regards, Sam.

Dear Sam ji,

Memecylon terminale Dalzell, is the smallest of all Memecylon species in India, and is reported to be found only in four states of India - Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu.

Now, we need to give a name to this species. Popular species is Memecylon umbellatum Burm.f. ... it has following names: കായാവ്, അഞ്നമരം, കനലി, ആനക്കൊമ്പി

I propose ... ചെറിയ കായാവ് cheriya kaayaavu ... I hope this name looks and sounds good.

Please let me know, if this name needs any correction.

Regards.
