Thanks Sheji After all we got its name. I have the satisfaction of getting the family name correct. My source gives Varanga Malayalam name but not Vankana. Here are a few others: Beng: Kierpa Mar: Panasi, punschi Tel: Karalli Assam: Kanthekera Andamans: Mantiawya Trade: Karallia wood
The glossy upper surface of leaves, opposite simple leaves and red wood is characteristic for this huge tree. In addition to being a prized timber plant, fruits are edible, leaves used for preparing a tea like beverage; seeds yield an edible oil. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
