    Thank you for posting about one of the endemic species in Sri Lanka, 

    Is it in your garden? on a stream bank?
    I am looking forward to seeing your pics of the fruits, here is one our A. concinna in Doranakanda garden.

    Thank you Ahamed,
    I read that name in 1925 H.F. Macmillan 's book.
    I am surprised that even being british, I learnt many words and traditions from the natives and he gives many local names in sinhalese and tamil in his book. I am sure he loved your country and the people. 

    Back to leena puwak - Macmillan wrote leena tari  (or teri?) - we have many leena in the garden and I love their songs, (noise? or speaking?)

    I LOVE Puwak trees, as you can see on my old posts. (Areca catechu….)
