May be:

பெரும்பஞ்சட்டி - Perumpanjatti

பெரும்பண்டலி - Perumbandali

I have converted English to Tamil.

Some people who really knows the Tamil name of the tree needs to confirm it

Dear Dinesh ji,

Bharathi ji's transcription looks good to me although I am not sure about the second name. A Telugu name for this species is "Pedda bandali" so the name "Perum bandali" could have been derived from its Telugu version but with incomplete (not sure) translation. The words 'pedda' (Telugu) and 'perum' (Tamil) share the same meaning 'big'.

PS: As you may be aware, the accepted name for this species is Actinodaphne quinqueflora (https://www.gbif.org/species/4176968)

Thank you very very much Vijayasankar ji for providing clarity and information.

I will go with the better candidate among two - பெரும்பஞ்சட்டி perumpanjatti, though perum bandali is the one which is listed in quite a few papers / articles. That of course gets carried by just copy-paste !!

Bharathi ji, thank you very much too for the attempt of names in native script.

Also thanks Vijayasankar ji, for the scientific name update - quite a recent update, as much as 24 Sep 2018 in Catalog of Life. Will revise my notes accordingly.
