Dear Telugu-knowing friends, *karalli* is a Telugu name given to *Carallia lucida*; and the genus name * Carallia* is derived from it ... Paxton's Botanical Dictionary<http://archive.org/stream/cu31924001341662/cu31924001341662_djvu.txt> .
Would someone help me by providing the name in native script. I tried all of these: కరల్లి / కారల్లి / కరాల్లి / కారాల్లి / కరళ్లి / కారళ్లి / కరాళ్లి / కారాళ్లి ... surprisingly not one of these discussed on the internet. Totally stumped ! Another name put for *C. brachiata* is *gijuru chettu* ... ¿ గిజరు ? చెట్టు ... hope this name helps to get to *karalli*.
