Dear Sir,
Are these two pics from the same plant? Is the second one directly
coming from the ground? Because it look like member of Zingiberaceae
(Z zerumbet?). It is just a wild guess.Let wait for others

Capsicum annum (Solanaceae).
Fruits are used for making pickle.
These particular fruits are infected with 'ripe rot of chillies' caused by Colletotrichum capsici.
Infected fruits collected from a vegetable market in Delhi.

Leh Berry (Seabuckthorn) Bot. name: Hippophae rhamnoides

Photo taken in Leh, Ladakh in September 4, 2009.

Nubra Valley, Ladakh is covered with dense thickets of seabuckthorn - a thorny shrub which is eaten by double hump camels. These bushes are found above 9000 feet.

 

Leh Berry juice has been reported to contains 100 nutrients, 8 vitamins, 24 minerals and 18 amino acids & the fruit is considered to have anti-ageing properties, enhances body endurance and improves memory.

Apples from Leh, Ladhakh.

In the absence of flower, i guess the IMG 2136 as Costus pictus (insulin plant?).

IMG 2137 could be Costus dubius.

And the Ramphal_2614 looks like Annona cherimola.

Thanks Vijaysankar ji,

This is Costa indica according to one of my colleagues (botanist). This plant was growing in her farm. Pls confirm.

Thanks for identification of ramphal.

[Inderjeet Sethi]

Sorry it is Costus indica according to my botanist friend.

[Inderjeet Sethi]

Thanks Tanay.

[Vijayasankar]

I am not aware of such species, ji. I think your friend meant Costus igneus.

"The first without flower it is difficult to identify. There are so many like this.

Yes it is Ramphal ( Annona reticulata). It is a common tree
(small) or a big shrub in Bangalore, Mysore and other Southern Indian
localities. The fruit becomes pinkish red on ripening.
