It is described as Samayappavadakatindukacira - (v.l. tindukakhira)- ekasalaka. D.i.178; M.ii.22, etc.; Sp.i.107, etc.
The Commentary (MA.ii.710; cf. DA.ii.365) says it was called Samyappavadaka because teachers holding various views used to gather there and discourse on their doctrines. It was surrounded by tindukakhira (timbaru) trees, hence tindukacira (sic); at first it possessed only one hall, but later many were erected through the good fortune of Potthapada - hence its epithet Ekasalaka.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
