Hi,
This is Kala Kuda {Wrightia tinctoria].

Hi Prof.Singh, Dinesh & 'H.S',
Agreed there is a bit of confusion in the local [Marathi / Hindi] names.
Dr. Almeida in his 'Flora of Maharashtra' Vol 2 has confused matters even further. Accordingly :
Holarrhena antidysentrica [ syn. H.pubescens - what I know as Safed Kuda] is Kuda
Wrightia arborea [what I know as Tambda Kuda] is Dhordudha Kuda.
Wrightia tinctoria [what I know as Kala Kuda] is Safed Kuda.
Wrightia tinctoria var.rothii is Kala Kuda.
From my experience in the field.... this is one area where I chose not to follow Dr. Almeida's dictat.
With regards,
