I think two names are combined here, as per FRLHT database. The possible Tamil script would be: இண்டு (indu), மாட்டிச்சீங்கை (matticcingai).

Please help me with the Kannada name matta seege in native script listed at ENVIS – FRLHT.
Please validate ಮಟ್ಟ ಸೀಗೆ
ಮಟ್ಟ (matta) = inferior … one of many meanings at Wiktionary
ಸೀಗೆ (seege) … a name for Acacia concinna … Kanaja
The meaning (s) of the word (s) is / are more or less correct: ಮಟ್ಟ (matta) = inferior
ಸೀಗೆ (seege) = a name for Acacia concinna
However, Seege means = Soapnut. Therefore, the meaning of ‘matta seege’ is ‘inferior soapnut plant’ Charmadi Ghat Karnataka

Discovered an old picture, couldn’t identify at that time. Could not go back and get it in flowering or fruiting stage. Any pointers to ID welcome..
Location: Meghalaya, Cherrapunjee area
Altitude-about 1200m
Photograph taken: January 2016
Habit: shrub, about 8-9 feet tall
Leaves: compound, paripinnate, glabrous, thick. Petiole swollen, with a jointed look at the terminal leaflet end.
Stem: woody, thorny
Zanthoxylum oxyphyllum Edgew.?? Not Zanthoxylum in my opinion…perhaps of Fabaceae, Connaraceae or some family with swollen pulvini.
Thank you … The stem with spines match closely. However, the leaf characters are very different. Leaves are glossy and paripinnate; Petiole is thin, glamorous, soft Compound leaves are paired, opposite.. In fact, there are more similarities with Mezoneuron cucculatum… Ok … Yes. to me also appears close to images at Caesalpinia cucullata
