Description

ROX2254.
In his 'Flora Indica', Roxburgh describes this plant as a shrub which flowers during the rains and ripens its seed in October. According to Roxburgh this species grows in Sylhet, and is also found on the hills of Chittagong. He also notes that the natives eat the fresh aril of the ripe seed.
