sanskrit shloka on trees

[Anand Kumar Bhatt]

Sometime back there was a mail containing a Sanskrit shloka  suggesting plants for various directions.Unfrtunately  am not able to trace  it just now.

I have a few doubts:

1. By chilla/pimpri is meant ficus benjamina or caeesaria tomentosa?

2. By Indian cherry/bhokar is meant ziziphus (ber) or lasora (cordia dichotoma.

Thanks

A reply from Geeta ji:

"Dear sir,
Thanks  for writing;
 
I have noted this from Marathi newspaper and I'm trying to send the shloka to the right person for correct  translation,
I tried to get some names in common english names,based on the marathi trnaslation given in the newspaper & with my poor knowledge,
request you that together will sort out this names once I get the translation in english or marathi,
then only we can come to know about the correctness of this shloka,
Please bear with this delay,
Hope this helps,
 
I have also learnt about Panchavati in Nasik that they have five trees in five directions because of which the Panchvati the name is derived and also has good healthy pollution free air and is advised for outing for sick people;it is in Nasik of Maharashtra almost 250km away from mumbai.
will also send you the information with right source,
 
I also would like to thank Shri Gargji for immediately providng the link to u, hope Gargji u r doing fine,
Bye 4 now,
With Best Wishes,
geeta rane
PS: in fact I was  surprised on the silence from you  Shri Bhatsir I'm very happy on your querry; Thanks for writing, Regards, geeta"
