Friends,
 Can some one provide me the botanical name and indian names (hindi/tamil/telugu etc) for Shami Tree.

The tree said to be worshipped during Vijaya Dashami.

Worship of the shami tree (Shamipujan): The shami tree or apta tree is worshipped with the recitation of special prayers, asking for victory over one’s defects and enemies, success in one’s endeavors and reunion with friends.Then rice, a betel nut (nuts from the betel tree found in India) and a gold coin (copper coin as a variant) are placed near the roots of that tree. After circumambulating the tree, some mud from its base and some of its leaves are brought home. Leaves of the apta are offered as gold to God and friends. Conventionally, gold should be gifted by the young to the old.

Thank you,
Warm Regards
Sanjay P
