Dear Malayalam- and Tamil-knowing friends (calling Vijayasankar ji), I got to know from Sandhya ji in a personal mail some days back about mix-up of Malayalam names in my notes of *Vitex trifolia* and *V. negundo*.
She has helped me with names as they must be: കരുനൊച്ചി karunocchi (or കരിനൊച്ചി karinocchi) = *Vitex negundo* വെണ്നൊച്ചി vennocchi = *Vitex trifolia* നൊച്ചി nocchi = generic name for most of the species of *Vitex* കരു (or കരി) karu (or kari) = black വെണ് ven = white Based on above names in Malayalam and their meanings, the names in Tamil would be as following ... கருநொச்சி karunocchi = *Vitex negundo* வெண்ணொச்சி vennocchi = *Vitex trifolia **Please validate.** * This query because the entries in online dictionary seems to be quite contrary: கருநொச்சி karu-nocci ... *Vitex trifolia* ... http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.2:1:4287.tamillex வெண்ணொச்சி vennocci ... *Vitex negundo* ... http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.12:1:3635.tamillex Regards.
