Dear Reghu
it is a different plant from the earlier mail. It is Solanum melongina (brinjal or egg plant ) wild one, commonly called in malayalam as chunda.

Solanum xanthocarpum (is how I remember from our twelfth std herbarium). It has thorns in the leaves, purple flowers and yellow fruits.Tamil Name - Kandankaththiri --- On Fri, 11/6/10, raghu ananth <ragh...@yahoo.com> wrote:

Jency you are partly right. In fact Trimen in Handbook of Flora of Ceylone had identified as S. xanthocarpum. This is wild form of brinjal (flowers single) characterised by smaller globose fruits. Cultuvated brinjal has mostly ovoid larger fruits. This should be correctly S. melanogena var. insanum (L.) Prain.
