Yes Yazdi ji, it is a mistake as you rightly pointed out. Let us enjoy the interactions on this group, and not get upset by mistakes by others. I being botanist, know there are so many wrong identifications on different websites, which confuse others. We have to tolerate them.
Just enjoy this group, and you will feel it is worthwhile.

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.
