I have seen live fences of Euphorbia antiquorum in Tamil Nadu. Kannada names for this species can be found at: http://envis.frlht.org/botanical_search.php?txtbtname=Eulophia+campestris+WALL.&gesp=928|Euphorbia+antiquorum+L .
Of course, there are various other species that are planted along fences, too...such as E. tirucalli, Cereus peruvianus etc. But the name 'kalli' கள்ளி generally refers to E. antiquorum. It is (the latex) known for its abuse as female infanticide, in the past, in some parts of TN. I have no idea about the name 'puliguthi'. Swamy ji (marked a Bcc to him) may be of help to you. And, you may try to describe the plant by mentioning some of its special feature/use etc. Regards Vijayasankar Raman National Center for Natural Products Research University of Mississippi On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 12:00 PM, vishnupriya hathwar < [email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > Thank you so much for the replies.
