While compiling names for Symplocos cochinchinensis var. laurina, I find various websites and reference books mentioning the common name as chunga OR changa. Most probably the name comes from Kannad language as mentioned in Digital Flora of Karnataka IISc.
I will be glad to know the valid name among the two ಚುಂಗ chunga OR ಚಂಗ changa. Found ಚಂಗ (changa) mentioned in Kannad page of Symplocos cochinchinensis var. laurina at Biotik. I feel that its a matter of pronunciation and how you spell a particular name. Both sound the same from a distance. For example Dipika and Deepika…! Yes …, I am in agreement with you on this example. Thank you very much. One of my friends gave me a similar example of rubber being spelled रब्बर and not as रुब्बर for my post in a FB group. .
