I do not know the scientific name but in marathi it is called as Raiamala. It is very tasty to eat as it is or with salt. Can be kept in salt water and eaten. Achar of it is also a delicacy. Madhuri Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel

The fruit, the leaves and the remains of the dropped fruits on the twigs, all are like Phyllanthus acidus.
