Dear All: I honor Dr. Gurucharan ji' s opinion... but since he is sending it out again means... he is not convinced himself, is that it, Guruchran ji?
I do not wish to contradict you or other erstwhile botanists, BUT in Medicine If we did diagnosis a picture of a lump ... we would be nowhere... same must be true for other branches of science.... including botany... and the botany specialist/s should not be put into a situation such as this... it behooves anybody asking for ID ... to show the mother plant... especially since its in your own garden....!!!!! Whatever its worth , that's my opinion.... I am not convinced of the diagnosis ... many cactus derived fruits may look similar... I think I had voiced my doubts earlier... why is it surfacing again?
