Dear Pravin, This is Citharexylum spinosum (C. quandrangulare) which is a native of the Carribeans. It is commonly called Spiny fiddlewood. Belongs to the family Verbenaceae. Has very fragrant flowers and attracts lots of bees and butterflies. We call it 'Parijatam' in Malayalam. Very easy to propagate from cuttings. Rudraksh belongs to the family Eleaeocarpaceae.
