Dear friends, and Vijayasankar ji, *Ziziphus caracutta* is known to be described from Coromandel coast; thus most chances are that the epithet *caracutta* is derived from local name. Any light on this ? கொட்டையிலந்தை kottai-y-ilantai <http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/search3dsal?dbname=tamillex&query=xylopyra&matchtype=exact&display=utf8> is one name for *Z. xylopyra* - closely associated to *Z. caracutta.*
