Dears, Murraya koenigii also occurs in Himachal Pradesh to altitudes of 1200 m asl and at many places forms the major understory in forests. In Himachal it is prized for its 'tooth sticks' that are routinely chewed by local people, especially so in digestive problems. Yes, I agree with Dr. Rawat. Local people also eat its fruits, though not very commonly. Regards,
