Lannea grandis/coromondelica (Ji-ol in Bengali) a member of
Anacardiaeae. Rural poor people eat young leaves of this plant with
rice. Wood used for packing cases and preparing furnitures for rural
people. Most remarkable about the plant is if the bark is injured , it
exudes gum of good quality. In our childhood we used this gum only, it
is ( was)also used in printing industry, I vaguely remember its bark
became sometimes covered with growing larvae of some butterfly.

After collection of Lannea bark as medicine, our Traditional Healers use Psoralea corylifolia solution to treat this plant in order to help it from recovering injury. Here is link to research document on use of Psoralea for different plants including Lannea.

Madhuri ji and all,
 
Medhshingi is not a correct name for this plant at all ... I do not recollect from which reference I got this name ... I am sure I have made a mistake here.
Thank you for bringing it to my notice.
 
Regards.

Thank you very much for the validation, Pankaj ji ... I find your articles on internet ever useful ... greetings and salutes.
 
 
 
in Marathi too:
मेढशिंगी (derived from मेद्रशृंगी Sanskrit) .. a milky and thorny plant, with a fruit like a ram's horn. Used medicinally for the eyes. Also called काकडशिंगी. Asclepias geminata (syn. of Gymnema sylvestre)
 
References:
 
 
also stumbled across this entry:
मेरशिंगी ... a small tree, Bignonia spathacea. Rox.
Bignonia spathacea (syn. of Dolichandrone spathacea)
 
 
Regards.

Finally, I got the reference of मेंढशिंगी in Marathi for the Wodier tree.
 
An entry at Revised and enlarged edition of Prin. V. S. Apte's The practical Sanskrit-English dictionary
 
अज aja : (page 31)
......................................2  goat's path. -शृङ्गी [अजस्य मेषस्य शृङ्गमिव फलं यस्याः सा] N. of a plant, विषाणी or Odina Wodier, highly medicinal, (Mar. मेंढशिंगी), See मेषशृङ्गी.
 
From the above entry, Odina Wodier (syn, of Lannea coromandelica) has अजशृङ्गी and  विषाणी as two names in Sanskrit; and मेंढशिंगी in Marathi.
 
 
If we have some friends here who are enthusiastic about names of flora, please come forward and enlighten us regarding acceptance of these names for Wodier tree.
