Nice photo and excellent work dear Dinesh ji.

One name ആഴാന്ത need to be corrected, is it ആഴാന്ത in Malayalam, the correct English spelling is aazhantha, otherwise it is aalaantha, the correct Malayalam spelling is ആലാന്ത, ie. ഴ - zha and laa - ലാ. One this kind growing in my property and we calling it as പയ്യാനി payyaani.

Regards, Sam.

Many thanks, Saroj ji. You must be correct about टटेलो Tatelo being Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz. in Nepal as well many other places where Nepali is spoken.

However in Flora of Assam Vol III by U N Kanjilal, P C Kanjilal, A Das, R N De, the authors have listed the name for Pajanelia longifolia (Willd.) K.Schum. ... Some Nepali speaking people or communities in regions of Assam use the same name for Pajanelia longifolia (Willd.) K.Schum.and the name listed is totalo owing to the influence of Assamese accent I assume.

Regards.

Thanks very much, Sam ji, for validating the Malayalam names, and for the appreciation.

The Malayalam name I find at http://www.biotik.org/india/species/p/pajalong/pajalong_ma.html is ആഴാന്ത ... thus, I will correct the English spelling to aazhantha.

Will correct the English spelling shortly.

Regards.
