Abstract


Fruits of several plants growing wild in the forests and waste places are either eaten when ripe or the unripe ones used in curries or pickles. Various kinds of wild fruits are collected from the forests and sold in the adjoining villages or towns. The edible portion in most ceses is the pulp of the fruit. In rare instances the fleshy thalamus or the aril of the seed or the seed kernel is the edible part. These fruits are known under various local names in different parts of the Presidency. These names so far known are given alphabetically at the end of this note.
