anurevatī

 Anurevatī (अनुरेवती) is a Sanskrit term that refers to a plant, specifically the tree known as Croton polyandrum (also called dantīvṛkṣa).

Linguistic Breakdown

The term Aṇurevatī is a compound composed of two Sanskrit words:

• aṇu (अणु): meaning “small” or “minute”
• revatī (रेवती): often used as a name or descriptor related to prosperity
• or growth but here forming part of the botanical name
• 
  

Thus, the compound anu-revatī literally identifies this particular plant, 

but in usage, it specifically denotes the tree Croton 

polyandrum
