Dear Dr. Gurcharan Singh Ji, My appologies if I have offended anybody. It is not my intention to hurt anybody. My language was rather strong, I apologise for it. I was refering to the sentence I am copying here "The scientific name for kokum is Gracinia indica. Some of the other names are amsul, katambi, panarpuli and mangosteen. Photo on the left shows two kokum fruits". I have seen Magosteen and it looks just like the fruits in his picture. I have always maintained that I am not a botanist and am always ready to accept the verdict of eminent people like you and the others at indiantreepix. Thanks once again. Regards Yazdy.
