There are a series of common names for this tree. Adding every alternate name this tree has would probably overwhelm the article. I am removing the name - kanuga in telugu - from the article as of now. If someone else can come up with a compelling reason to keep it, feel free to reinsert it, but please state your reason here.

Well, the edit you reverted was clearly putting the name in the wrong place, so no objections to that. My general philosophy is that we should provide the names used when writing in English, and leave the others to dictionaries and interwiki links. Not sure how far I'd push this (especially for plants which are not commonly discussed in English). Kingdon (talk) 20:56, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

In the English version, it is given that all parts of the tree are toxic. But in Tamil version, it is given that the juice of the leaves cures stomach problems. " புங்கை இலைக்கு அல்சர் எனப்படும் வயிற்றுப் புண்ணை போக்கும் சக்தி உள்ளது. புங்கன் மர இலையை இடித்து சாறு பிழிந்து 30 முதல் 60 மில்லி அளவு குடித்து வர வயிற்றுப்புண் மற்றும் அதனால் ஏற்படும் வயிற்று வலி குணமாகும்."

Toxicity is a complicated subject; there is a level below which even a very toxic substance will show no toxic effects. This reference states that both the oils and residues are toxic and then goes into great detail regarding the traditional uses including for stomach problems. The article does mention this fact, but it is not followed by a reference, so I will add it in. Killian441 (talk) 15:39, 17 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

According to The Plant List, Millettia pinnata appears to be a synonym of Pongamia pinnata. So should we use the latter name? MKwek (talk) 08:22, 1 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

The Plant List uses information from International Legume Database & Information Service which hasn't been updated since 2006. The ILDIS has two relevant entries, one for Pongamia pinnata and one for Millettia pinnata, both entries refer to the same basionym (Fabaceae Cytisus pinnatus) but don't seem to refer to each other. Millettia pinnata has the newer entry dating to 1989, while Pongamia pinnata dates to 1899. Since Pongamia has the longer history it will have more references, but from what I've been reading consensus is in favor of replacing Pongamia with Millettia. In fact, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History has a record of the proposal that the genus Pongamia be rejected in favor of Millettia in the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN). It was first proposed in 1981, and looks like it was ratified in 1988. In 2011 the United States Department of Agriculture updated its database and made Pongamia pinnata a synonym of Milletia pinnata. Given that the Plant List is mostly an algorithmically generated database based on multiple sources it is perhaps not surprising that entries such as this will not reflect the new consensus. I believe the name Millettia pinnata is the more correct name at this point and should be kept. -Killian441 (talk) 18:46, 4 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

At present, in Plant list, the accepted name is "Pongamia pinnata", which is based on the data from International Legume Database & Information Service provided on 2010-07-14. Now, in this database "Millettia pinnata" is only a synonym of "Pongamia pinnata", and no more an accepted name. Therefore the name of the page may be changed to Pongamia pinnata?

Hi, as mentioned above it was ratified that "Millettia" would replace "Pongamia" in 1988. Many other sources have not been updated yet. The International Legume Database & Information Service website is upgrading and currently under construction. Perhaps after it comes back online with updated data we can continue this discussion. -Killian441 (talk) 02:26, 2 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
