Names of Plants in India :: Telugu name for Caesalpinia cucullata : 2 posts by 1 author.

Please help with the Telugu name gabbusikaya in native script, for Caesalpinia cucullata (syn. Mezoneuron cucullatum).
Ref:
My attempt:
గబ్బుసీకాయ 
గబ్బు (gabbu) = strong, thick … A Telugu-English dictionary by Charles Philip Brown
సీకాయ (sikaya) = name for Acacia concinna … A Telugu-English dictionary by Charles Philip Brown

గబ్బుసీకాయ- you are perfectly correct; but గబ్బు (gabbu) means- bad smelling
it is not related to sikaya, but the plant resemble A.concinna except in flower with bad smell it is named so 


Thank you very much … for this help with the name and clarification.

Wanted to know whether Mezoneuron cucullatum (syn. of Caesalpinia cucullata) is distributed in Nepal; any known local name ?

Yes is distributed in Nepal but no Nepali name so far.


.

Two names: baghasora and bagh-anchora, figure as names for Caesalpinia cucullata (and its popular synonyms – Mezoneuron cucullatum, Mezoneurum cucullatum) in many publications and resources on internet, for instance … Flora of Assam Volume 2 by Kanjilal UN, Kanjilal PC & A Das (1938)
Please help me with the names in native script.

Caesalpinia cucullata  Assamese name Baghasora (বাঘাচোৰা) or Bagh-anchora (বাঘ-আঁচোৰা)


Thank you very much … for this great help.

Please help with the Tamil name indumatticcingai in native script, for Caesalpinia cucullata (syn. Mezoneuron cucullatum).
Ref:

I think two names are combined here, as per FRLHT database. The possible Tamil script would be: இண்டு (indu), மாட்டிச்சீங்கை (matticcingai). The name ‘Indu’ is also generally applied to Acacia caesia (or any climbing Acacias!).


Thank you very very much … for the names in native script and the clarity.

shouldn’t it be Fabaceae?


Yes dear …, the wrong family name got inadvertently carried from my template. I sent an email on Sat, Oct 1, 2016 at 11:42 AM when I realized my mistake, but it must have got buried in the thread.


Santali name added.

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 concinnaKanaja

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’

Request you help in Identification : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2)
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..
These characters are different from Zanthoxylum
Your comments welcome…


In fact, there are more similarities with Mezoneuron cucculatum


Ok …


Yes. to me also appears close to images at Caesalpinia cucullata
