A tree by any other name...

...is still a tree, though in the case of the trees that have washed up on the Kallar beach recently, not as we know it. According to the locals, these trees are like nothing found in Sri Lanka, and are believed to have washed up here all the way from Indonesia. More likely is that they have come from one of the numerous small islands that lie between Sri Lanka and the origin of the December 26 tsunami.
