Why didn't you ask the people who called it that?

If its a local name, your agricultural extension agent should be able to
provide you with info on it.

Its almost impossible to identify the plant without seeing it.

The psychic plant identification network is in a different newsgroup!

While birding in West Central Florida today I found an unusual looking
tree
with light grey bark, nearly empty branches and these peculiar brown
human-ear
shaped "pods". Someone called them "lmonkeypods". I think the "pods"
were
the only "vegetation" on the treesl, which may have been empty for the
winter.
Can anyone identify this tree for certain? I'm living in Tampa Bay area
of
Florida. Thanks.
