[Sam Kuzhalanattu]

Nice picture and great efforts dear Dinesh ji.
Kantham koluthu?  Kantham means magnet and koluthu means hook, ie. magnetic hook!! It is not appropriate as a plant name.  The other one is correct.
Regards, Sam.

[Dinesh Valke]

Thanks very much, Sam ji, for analyzing the Malayalam name.

The name appears in Malayalam Wikipedia page ...

കാന്തം കൊളുത്ത് kaantham koluthu

• വിക്കിപീഡിയ - സ്വതന്ത്രസർവ്വവിജ്ഞാനകോശം ... Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia

Regards.

Dinesh

[Sam Kuzhalanattu]

Dear Dinesh ji,
Yes, but it can't be coined as a Malayalam plant name.
Regards, Sam.

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear Sam ji,

I have not coined it.

The name is on a Malayalam Wikipedia page related to Zanthoxylum ovalifolium Wight, very obviously created by some native or natives.

Please do not analyze the name by its literal meaning. There may be some reason for the plant to have got that name.

Just in case, you believe there is a chance of the name being wrong, I request you to please put a query in a separate post. Hopefully we will get to know whether the name is indeed wrong.

Regards.

Dinesh
