I found these flowers on another tree, of same species, in the same village.

Names compiled / updated at
https://dineshvalke.blogspot.com/2020/11/alangium-salviifolium-lf-wangerin.html Regarding Kannada name ಅಂಕೋಲೇ ಮರ the correct script in Kannada is ಅಂಕೋಲೆ ಮರ. However, English transliteration is perfect. The tree is also known as ಗುಡ್ಡದ ಗೋಣಿ Guddada goni. I also referred to the Government of Karnataka official website (Pilikula website): https://pilikula.karnataka.gov.in/87/alangium-salvifolium/kn. This is for your kind information. Will correct the Kannada name to ಅಂಕೋಲೆ ಮರ shortly.
About the Alangium salviifolium subspecies – salviifolium and hexapetalum – they are now treated as separate species – Alangium salviifolium (habit: large shrub, distributed all over India) and Alangium hexapetalum (habit: straggling shrub or climber, distributed in peninsular India). Literature and articles about these two subspecies (now species) are often mixed up for each other; the common names are almost mixed.
Kindly note that the Pilikula link https://pilikula.karnataka.gov.in/87/alangium-salvifolium/kn has names listed for Alangium hexapetalum.
After lot of analysis, though I may yet me mistaking, I have compiled ಅಂಕೋಲೆ ಮರ ankole mara as name for Alangium salviifolium and ಗುಡ್ಡದ ಗೋಣೀ guddada goni for Alangium hexapetalum … see separate post …
https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/IOBgAJ Thanks a lot for the clarification. I appreciate your exhaustive study. You always make authentic study. Great, I missed out somewhere.
I will recheck and return to you.. Thanks very much for the kind words. Actually, I was reminded about this matter by dear … – he noticed a few vernacular names having suffixes meaning tree, climber, and so on, being used erroneously. For example, mara, maram = tree, used for A. hexapetalum and valli = climber for A. salviifolium. This is regarding ‘mara, maram = tree, used for A. hexapetalum and valli = climber for A. salviifolium.’ mentioned in your mail. I wish to bring to your information mara is Kannada whereas maram & valli are Tamil words; also used in Malayalam. I only wanted to clarify (in this specific compilation of both Alangium species) that various regional languages of south India – whether Kannada / Tamil / Malayalam – having suffixes like mara / maram / valli / etc … are leniently shared among both species, not taking into account the habit of the species. Not many people know this. But there was a concept of “Hu Card Index’, developed by late Prof. Shiu Ying Hu, a China-born, Professor as Chinese University of Hong Kong. She collected names since the first publication in 1753 for all Chinese Plants, where ever she could find and prepared a collection of over 1.5 lakh cards. And, she had staffs to help. Her index is still maintained at the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University. Thanks very much, dear Pankaj, for the kind words; they made my day !!! 🙂 My work does get noticed by Tabish and Garg ji. Plus those people wanting to search names in any regional language may also be searching eFI, FoI and my blog, for sure. That is the limit of getting my passion noticed !!!
And, I am no longer working single-handedly … in eFI, I have many dear member friends who regularly validate / provide regional names. At facebook too, I have some friends who share my enthusiasm. They help me coin names for “nameless” plants; some FB friends, I depend solely for provision of names – the names which have not found their way on the internet.
Minor change in Kannada name … My saying, “doesn’t get noticed” was not in an odd sense. Of course, it gets noticed, but your compilation has far more importance than that. On a larger global scale. Again I will bring out the context of Chinese botanists. They have Chinese names for each and every plant and those names are so accurate that many Chinese botanists use Chinese names over Latin names (many of them claim they do not know the Latin but know the Chinese names). They focus on latin names, only at the time of publication. So your work is more important than what you think. Thank you so much, dear Pankaj !!! I feel honoured, and feel very happy reading all your good words and thoughts.
I have a very long way to go … 379 species names compiled, close to 1300 species more to go (counting my collection alone).
I hope I make more than that 🙏😊
Thanks Pankaj very much, and thanks to so many friends at eFI … There are a lot of inspiring people here. Salute to your determination and hard work!! You are inspiration to many !!
Best wishes for all your future work
Yes, there is no doubt that Dinesh ji is certainly a legend in himself. A PhD or not does not matter.
In today’s age of citizen science, he is making immense contributions.
His work will continue to be appreciated even by the future generations.
Thank you very very much, Garg ji, for your kind words !!! They motivate me towards my passion. ଆଙ୍କୁଲ in Odia I referred Purnnachandra Ordia Bhashakosha by Praharaj, G.C. and searched ” ଆଙ୍କୁଲ ” … the entry for ଆଙ୍କୁଲ says ଅଙ୍କୋଟ (ଦେଖ) Aṅkota (See) … ” ଅଙ୍କୋଟ ” I searched ଅଙ୍କୋଟ in the dictionary … It is listed for Alangium hexapetalum Lam.
Therefore, I will compile the name you provided for Alangium hexapetalum.
But, you may please assert that the name ଆଙ୍କୁଲ is also used for Alangium salviifolium, I will then compile the name for both the species.
The regional names for both the species of Alangium are shared liberally among each … salviifolia (shrub or small tree) and hexapetalum (straggling shrub). Yes Sir i also follow https://dsal.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/praharaj/ ଆଙ୍କୁଲକୋଳି Āṅkulakoḻi (p. 715)
ଆଙ୍କୁଲକୋଳି is the appropriate Odia for the Species I will compile the name ଅଙ୍କୁଲ ankula for Alangium salviifolia too. Odia name added.

Fruiting of the same In flowersofindia the height of this tree is mentioned as 3-10 m. At the same place it is written that it is a tall tree. As the height mentioned in the writeup it can be a dwarf to small tree. On the bund at the Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary near Chennai, the trees are tall, over 30 feet at least. About a month ago, they were full of flowers and fruit. Villagers told us that the fruit , which were green then, were edible when purple and ripe.
this is a small trree height about 15-20 feet.
Found in abundance in open land. I have few trees on my land too.

Planted during 1997. Most probably this is Alangium salviifolium subsp. salviifolium (Earlier known as Alangium lamarkii) of Cornaceae family. i doubt it as a member of cornaceae family. otherwise it is seems A.salviifolium to me too. Earlier the genus Alangium was in Alangiaceae family. Now, according to the plant list this comes under Cornaceae family.
