Finally joy! After long hours of cracking the enigmatic name, went on to search with possibility of telitsayel being *teli cha vel* (teli-tsa-yel). And I did find it mentioned so in The flowering plants of Western India <https://ia601408.us.archive.org/33/items/floweringplantso031630mbp/floweringplantso031630mbp.pdf> by the Rev. Alexander Kyd Nairne, January 1894. Thus तेली चा वेल !!!
*teli* is name given to oilman ... A dictionary, Marathi and English <http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/app/molesworth_query.py?qs=%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%80&searchhws=yes> by Molesworth, J. T. (James Thomas). Though not clear why the climber is attributed to oilman! Among the results, could find तेलीचें झाड (=माकडीचें झाड <http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/app/molesworth_query.py?qs=%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%A1%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%9A%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%82+%E0%A4%9D%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A1>) - *Ixora parviflora* (syn. of *Ixora pavetta* Andr.), and its timber तेलीचें लाकूड - oily wood used for torches by night-messengers or travelers. Thanks and salutes to these great people - Talbot, Sir Brandis and Rev. Kyd !!! Regards.
