Pradeep Krishen has included excellent photographs of Kadamba and Mitragyna in his book. He has also tried to explain why Kaim was probably associated with Krishna. The clinching evidence came from someone from Vrindavan Was it Malyada?) who informed of a large scale plantation of 'Kadamba' in Vrindavan. He also sent some photographs, and they were of Mitragyna and not of Kadamba. Best wishes, akbhatt
