"Motia" is not a recognized botanical term. It's possible you're referring to a plant with a different name, or a local name for a specific plant.

To help me identify the plant you're thinking of, could you please provide more information? For example:

* Where did you hear the name "motia"? (Country, region, specific language)

* Do you know what the plant looks like? (Flowers, leaves, size, shape)

* Do you know any other names for this plant? (Common names, scientific name)

With more information, I can help you determine if "motia" refers to a tree or a shrub.
