I don't see this position improve in near future.

However, efforts of everybody is required to carry it forward. One may choose

I think first step can be adding descriptions from Flora of British India (Copy

There are so many other possibilities.

   Not to start any contravercy but a question is always discussed on every 
forum conferences, seminars, NGO meetings, forest dept meetings, newspapers 
about Indigeous plants and nonindegious. When we take tree plantation drive 
sometimes this becomes a serious issue.
Will we call such plants grown from seeds from some fruits originally not

Is this question allowed on this forum?

Thank you Dr G.That solves the confusion about C. maxima. 
But I don't know the Tamil name of sweet lime you have given :-( I know about

Jency jiI am not as familiar with all Citrus species, but luckily I have the 
book Useful Plants of India by CSIR. According to this Tamil name Pambalimasu 
and Telugu Pampalamasam both belong to C. maxima, the pomello or shaddock

Sweet lime is a different plant Citrus limettoides Tanaka. Tamil name for this 
is Kolumichangai, Telugu Gajanimma or nemumapandu.
I hope that solves some confusion.

The first four photographs are from the same tree in Herbal Garden at Delhi. 
The first fruit from California looks similar to the one from Delhi, although 
the other two from California look different in texture of the rind.



 
Here are some Indian names of the fruit:

'Manathakkaali' in Tamil as well.  Sandhya is right.  Dried fruits fried in oil 
or ghee cure ulcers. But I find the juice extract from the leaves work better 
in curing mouth and stomach ulcers. Raw leaves are ground with water and the 
extract is taken orally on an empty stomach. (But I have taken it at other 
times as well and I feel the result is the same)  After one intake itself there 
will be a remarkable difference. Some people take the extract with coconut milk.

'Manattakkali' in Malayalam. A delicious leafy vegetable.

The fruits can be dipped in curds and salt and then sundried. This
will keep for long time and the sundried fruits can be fried in oil
and used as a sidedish with rice (what we call 'kondattum' in
Malayalam). These fried fruits are also used to make a delicious curry
with tamarind ('rasam').

Hi Muthu, i think the word 'Seemai' in this context refers to its

Prosopis juliflora; Seemai athi = Ficus caricaall these are exotics].

may be allowed! 
But remember there are several cultivars with different tastes and fibrous 
nature, available in the market.
Thanks for the 'antidote' formula, Oudhia ji. As you know Jack and Mango are 
laxatives and banana does the 'controlling' job.

Hallo,
 
These fotos were taken on 24. june 2010. Now the temperature is going up 
rapidly and today the shrub is withered. 
Looking at the fotos I rememberd that in my childhood my mother used to keep 
the drinking water in an earthen pot called Math in marathi. Refrigerators were 
not so common in a household in those days. The math kept the water cool. My 
mother also used to put some mogra (or jai or chameli?) flowers in the water. 
I have now some questions.
What Jasmin I have in the foto? The shrub war there all the time, so I don't 
know exactly what it is. It has pleasent fragrance like mogra.
Is it ok to put these flowers in the drinking water? If ok, then can one eat 
the flowers e.g. as decoration in the salad too?
Are Jasmin / Mogra flowers in general edible?  drinkable?

TIA
Nalini

Is it different from Phyllanthus amarus (keezhaanelli in Tamil, meaning the 
berries are under the leaves), used to cure jaundice?

It is Phyllanthus polyphyllus, called as 'Siru Nelli' (meaning Small Amla) in 
Tamil.

of Chennai, the flowers are almost white whereas in some places they are a nice 
pink
