In my view ಬಲ್ಪಾಲೆ balpaale (as mentioned by … Subrahmanya, Prasad K – Exploration and elucidation of traditional medicinal plants of erstwhile Tulunadu and surrounding area of Kerala and Karnataka – Shodhganga) is more appropriate than ‘ಬಲ್ಬಲೆ balpale’. Paale or Paala refers to Writhtia tinctoria in Kannada. ‘Paale or pala’ also written as ‘pala or pale’ refers to the white milky exude. Even ಬಿಳಿ ಹಲಸು bili halasu may not be appropriate as this tree or fruit is in no way related to Halasu (Jackfruit tree). Nevertheless, the choice is yours to retain, add or delete the names suggested by me. I agree that ಬಲ್ಪಾಲೆ balpaale is more appropriate than ಬಲ್ಬಲೆ balpale . Will make the change shortly. About ಬಿಳಿ ಹಲಸು bili halasu literally meaning white jack … this name is more in context of a trade of wood / timber. Artocarpus hirsutus = hebbalasu ಹೆಬ್ಬಲಸು = hebba + halasu = wild jack tree Here is one link: Forests of Karnataka – A Panaromic View … where we find Lophopetalum wightianum being given a name as ಬಿಳಿ ಹೆಬ್ಬಲಸು bili hebbalasu. It is something to do with similarity in nature of wood.

Fwd: Dehsicent capsule for identification – efloraofindia | Google Groups . Please help ID this flower: 1 image. When and where was it clicked? I have asked my friend who sent it to me. No response. I kind of sense that it was one of those “forwards”. I know flowers somewhat myself but this particular one has stumped me. An umbellifer? I think something else. Appears to be fallen flowers. The flower character is matching with disciflorus families like Celastraceae, Anacardiaceae, etc. leaf details , fruit details will be the supporting character for correct identification.
