Rather difficult to zoom in. In Tam. and Mar. Pala tree refers to Alstonia
scholaris; In Hindi and Mar. Pala refers to Carmona microphylla
(Ehretiaceae), in Mal. it refers to Cryptostegia grandiflora; in Tel. it is
for Holarrehena antidysenterica; Tam., Mal. it is for Manilkara hexandra;
Mal., it is for Palaquium ellipticum, Eng. (Pala indigo) for Wrightia
tinctoria, Tam., Mal. for W. tomentosa, Raj. for Ziziphus nummularia.
I would chose between Manilkara hexandra and Palaquium ellipticum. Any
clues?
