Very interesting... on the net at some sites I learned that The roots and fruits are believed to be an effective snakebite remedy and is larval food for Charaxes butterflies.
At wiki I found that this is perhaps " native" indian? plant , and wiki did not have photos, only a BW line drawing from the following book: D. Brandis, Illustrations of the Forest Flora of North-West and Central India, 1874 The illustration must be from before 1874… I find that very interesting….
I Am enclosing the bw line drawing published in wiki…
