Since it is called as gunpowder tree it says that powder of this tree/ bark/ stem is/ was used to make GOLI of gun??? Mixing with the gunpowder. So a name GOL??? Sounds better Madhuri Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel

The correct local Marathi (language of the state in which Mumbai is located) is Ghol. The word Ghol normally means confusion, misunderstanding, etc. Why the tree is called that needs to be found out. Maybe because the male/female flowers are mixed up? As Neil wrote, presently anybody's guess. Hope to find out. cheers -shyam --- On Thu, 2/3/11, tev treowlufu <[email protected]> wrote: From: tev treowlufu <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [ButterflyIndia] Cat n food plant fr id (Nagla 31Jan11) Blaise To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, February 3, 2011, 2:41 AM Interesting information.
