There is much confusion
with the vernacular for Azadirachta indica A. Juss.
and Melia
azedarach L. in many
languages. Both plants are from India, both are used in medical
remedies. Indian
names also have anomalies: the Assamese "Mahaneem" is matched
to Azadirachta indica A. Juss. while
the Hindi "Mahanimb"
is used for Melia azedarach L.
The
taxonomy may also contribute or add to the confusion: Antelaea javanica Gaertn. is
a synonym attributed to both species, although deemed
"unresolved" by the 'The PlantList". Also the fact that Azadirachta
indica A. Juss. has a synonym called Melia azadirachta L. can easily lead non botanists
to complete confusion.
All names under the species above apply to this variety.
SYNONYM(S) : Azadirachta siamensis A. Juss.
CHINESE : 
Gan lian shu.
ENGLISH : Edible neem, Sweet neem.
FRENCH : Margosier de Siam.
THAI : 
Kadao, Sadao, 
Saliam.
Currently considered
as a synonym of A. indica. May turn out to be a Thai cultivar in
the future.
