Rev Ferdinand Kittel's [German Scholar, indologist, priest] in his Kannada - English dictionary [1894] mentions another regional name for the Wrightia tinctoria tree -hallu novu mara, meaning tooth ache tree. Probably the tree has some medicinal use w.r.t tooth ache.
Sometimes , the tree names vary every 50kms we traverse. (Even the culture, accent, dialect, slang, food varies), It should be a mammoth job of collecting regional tree names from different regions. However, its always interesting to know the meaning behind the tree names. Growing of this tree is encouraged by forest conservators. However, these trees are seldom seen in the villages in my neighborhood and are probably growing on their own. Nice to know Neil ji has this tree in his farm. ( It appears, you name a tree and Neil ji has one in his farm:). Its probably a tree haven. ! "We need to present the eflora Vriksh Mitra award to Dr. Neil " Trees are my friends, trees are my God Trees are my friends, trees are my children Trees are my body, trees are my soul Trees are my wealth.. ... Let us learn to be selfless, grow more trees And make the world a beautiful place.
