Thank you Pankaj ji for validation and the list of synonyms

Thank you Hari lal ji for appreciating

Thank you Madhuri mam for reminding me of bitti. Is it light brown in color and very smooth to touch or am I remembering something else?

I found some interesting info on the net about this plant

1)A PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE CASCABELA–THEVETIA SPECIES COMPLEX (PLUMERIEAE, APOCYNACEAE) BASED ON MORPHOLOGY1

http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.3417/0026-6493(2007)94%5B298:APAOTC%5D2.0.CO;2

Pankaj ji This has so many botanical terms that it was tough for me but I thought it would be interesting for all the Botany experts

2)Plants used as Patri for Vinaayaka chavithi

10 Vikataya Namaha: వికటాయ

(Sanskrit)Karaveera patra (Telugu)Genneru

Botanical name: Thevetia neerifolia/Cascabela thevitia(Family:Apocyanaceae)

A shrub found in siva temples.
