Botanical name is Santalum album, as I know. This is most common in Mysore city and surroundings. Comes up naturally and protected tree. If this tree comes up in any house one has to inform the Forest department and one cannot cut this tree. Another common tree in Mysore city is Magnolia champaka. Infact many varieties are seen if you walk on the road during the flowering season.
