Madhuca longifolia
The saying "aalai illaa oorukku iluppaip poo charkkarai" indicates when there is no cane sugar available, the flower of M. longifolia can be used, as it is very sweet. However, Tamil tradition cautions that excessive use of this flower will result in imbalance of thinking and may even lead to lunacy. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Madhuca_long... http://www.fruitipedia.com/mahua.htm http://www.civilsocietyonline.com/pages/...
