Prasad ji, beautiful flowers and fruits. These fruits are sold in our
area in the name of "Kali maina" mainly near schools as children loves
it. The unripe fruits are used in pickles.

Thanks for sharing,

Regards,

Mani Nair

Thanks Maniji, thanks for the information and its application. To add your observations, this plant is locally called Khirikoli (latex fruit) in Orissa as the fruit secret milkey latex during harvesting and also called Nitipokhati (fertile throughout the year) as it produce flower through out the year.
