Of the may who came back on this, at least 3 said ‘Chunam’ They are not chunam but ‘Gomi Follam’ (Gum fruits or gum tree) And that’s why I said ‘ Indian Post should plant such trees at their Post Offices all over India.’ When you buy a one rupee stamp or 100 rupees stamp, it does come with sort of self-adhesive gum but never works with tongue nor with water. You need to affix such stamps by applying gum from a gum bottle (if provided). Funny Indian Postal Stamps. When I read Domnic’s answer as ‘Bhembram’ it made me laugh loudly. Yes, they may be called bhembram in the North (as confirm by another). It does look like ‘Bhembar’ Thick sticky crystal (not yellow) running nose Yet, some may call it ‘Xeluttam’ which could also be a right answer as I do remember something called like that. At least 3 of then said it brought back their memory where they used to used the gum fruits to paste labels on text/note books after covering them with brown cover etc Two also said they too ate them when they were kids (I am third one) Gomi follam http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk20/3691688202/ more http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk4/182343026/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk4/182343027/ Thanks you Alfred, Bernice, Domnic, Fausto, Richard, Sebastian, Ereen, Eddie, Joel, Steve etc Chuna/plant looks like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk5/2432544120/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk8/472821531/ Thanks again It’s a pleasure doing business with you.
