Muthu ji, search by Siru-Vengai in Tamil dictionary led me to following:
சிறுவேங்கை ciru-venkai, n. < id. +. Thorny blue-druped featherfoil. See மலை
வேங்கை.
மலைவேங்கை malai-venkai, n. < id. +. Spinous kino tree, l. tr., *Bridelia
retusa

*... the leaves do look like that of *Bridelia retusa*.

Regards
