Dear Ushadi ji,

It is collected from some undisturbed forest slopes. The hillock is
protected from grazing which is comes under piligrim area.  It is not at
all home gardening plant. It is not matches with the characters of other *
Peristrophe* species which were reported from India (FBI, Gamble, State
Floras of AP, MH, MP, Bihar, Orissa, Assam, Rajastahn,etc,  EFC  EFP. It
may be a new species or new variety?. Due to lack of proper literature we
were not able to fix the identity confirmation. Thanks to Mr. Garg ji, Dr.
Singh ji, Dr. Ushadi ji for resurfacing this taxon and also valuable
comments.

Regards

Dr. Pankajji,

 Two years back one of my friend brother brought from Saudi area as a
Kashmir Sapota. It may be a Diospyros virginiana. Please visit below

 This persimmon is currently being sold in Mumbai as 'Amarphal'. The fruit
 vendor said that they are sourced from Kashmir.
 Have attached some cell-phone shots of the fruit; diameter : 7 cm. Seed size
 : 2.5 cm long x 0.8 cm wide.
 Thank you Dr Pankaj and Dr Singh for sharing your experiences.

 Best wishes, Viplav

 Ghosh ji
 In plenty in temperate areas, especially Kashmir, Manali, Nainital, etc. I
 had uploaded two Manali, thinking one to be American D. virginiana, but as
 it turned both were D. kaki, one astringent form and ne nn-astringent form.
 Here is the link.

   I went to city to buy some stuff with one of our staff members, Daisy
   Hu. While we were returning, I bought some guava and she bought some,
   what I thought was tomato. Then she came to me and gifted me one of
   those tomato and asked me to try it.
   I smiled, I know how tomato tastes. She said, no this is not a
   tomato.
   Hesitantly, I took it and came home.
   In the evening she called me to say, wise man, you are too bad. I
   said, why?. She replied,  when a girl gifts you something you
   should have gifted her the guavas. I couldnt stop laughing. She
   asked, did you taste the fruit, do it now if you haven't and you
   will
   know its not a tomato.
   And finally I tasted what I thought to be tomato. And I am glad that
   I
   was wrong. Its one of the best fruits I have ever tasted. Very
   peculiar color and very peculiar taste.
 
   Its commonly called the Persimmon.
   Diospyros kaki Thunb.
   Family: Ebenaceae
   This is a very high value medicinal plant.
