Dear HS, There is an adjective spiny added to bottle brush, thus spiny bottle brush, ... certainly different from the popularly known bottle brush. This common name is coined by Flowers of India, otherwise this plant would have no name to know with.
Most of the endemic plants of Konkan are not known by any name ... perhaps because the regional folks have not found (or discovered) any good use. For this particular plant, the botanical names themselves are unresolved for some reason(s). Regards.
