Talk:Curry tree

message: The last sentence in the introductory paragraph reads: "Curry leaves are also entirely unrelated to bay leaves and basil leaves, which are aromatic leaves from the Mediterranean."  Am I missing something?  It seems unnecessary to mention this seemingly obvious fact.  I mean, if you're going to distinguish curry leaves from basil and bay leaves, then you might as well keep going and distinguish them from green tea leaves, black tea leaves, etc.  Why write this at all?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.54.132.232 (talk) 13:20, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Edited the bit where it said the berries are claimed to be edible, they are eaten south india though only as berries and not as part of any prepared food/curry, as for the fact that the seeds being poisonous it is not know but nobody eats the seeds as they are just white and round and all the flavour is only in the skin.81.158.161.57 01:20, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't know, maybe I am just tired, but doesn't the GRIN reference cited in the article state that Bergera koenigii is the accepted name whereas Murraya koenigii is a synonym? In the article it appears to me that the opposite is stated?? -- Slaunger (talk) 21:46, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I can tell, Bergera has been segregated from Murraya since the last millenium; I note there was a study in 2001 that found these two genera to belong to different tribes. I guess there are still a few sticks in the mud, but the evidence does seem to be that Murraya sensu lato is polyphyletic. Personally, I advocate updating it to Bergera koenigii, but with a disclaimer along the line of GRIN's Bergera page, http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/genus.pl?13627, which says that Bergera is an "uncertain genus" that is "sometimes included in Murraya".

message: On packages of curry leaves found at Indian groceries, the name is spelled "करी" (karī) instead of the word "कढ़ी" (kaṛhī) given in this article.
There is no such name for leaves as करी given in the Hindi dictionary (करी is glossed only as a Sanskrit tatsama meaning 'having a hand or trunk; an elephant'), but it is also plausible as a loanword from Tamil கறி kari, the latter being the origin of the word curry in English. 
Meanwhile कढ़ी, with its accidental resemblance to "curry" in sound and meaning, derives from a completely different origin in Hindi. It looks like the plant has been given two different names in Hindi that both happen to resemble the word "curry" somewhat. The Hindi dictionary is no help, because it applies neither of these two words to the leaves.
I don't want to make this into "original research," but it is puzzling to me as an editor. Can anyone sort out the use of these two names for the plant in Hindi? Thanks. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 16:27, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't think it's helpful to list all the non-English names of curry leaf. There are translation websites out there to do this. Where does it end, there are hundreds of languages in the world? MCG 23:32, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Yes I know that that 2016 version isn't "perfect" but so much information was lost in the last year, along with links and references, that it seemed a waste and a shame. The article now provides a much more comprehensive overview and I can't see what is so wrong about including foreign names and uses in Ayurvedic medecine. 
Perhaps some of the editors who removed content had an agenda ie xenophobia, big pharma, etc? Samsbanned (talk) 01:50, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
