Many thanks all, Balkar ji, Gurcharan ji, Tanay for the appreciation. Vijayasankar ji, many many thanks for validating the name, too. (But ENVIS - FRLHT<http://envis.frlht.org/plant_details.php?disp_id=663&parname=0>does have the name *uppucanaka* listed in Tamil, perhaps used by people sharing AP - TN border). Have revised my notes at flickr.
