No photograph. Just text. From an email sent by a friend -

"*what can you tell me about this fruit (name included - `noong' came into
my mind, but I could be horribly wrong) sold in South India, purple/dark
blue skin, white flesh, very juicy, used to quench thirst - resembles
mangosteen, probably a relative?  Possibly related to lychees also? I
remember one long family trip to the South, this endless bus ride, halt at
Dindigul and these fruits being sold, my father repeatedly asking if I
wanted to try some and my outright refusal because I had Gold Spot and
Limca and Mangola and assorted Sharbats on my mind.  Have looked up
Wikipedia several times, but hard if you have no name for said item."*

Am sure at least one of our members will get the name.

Dev
