Bullum Doomoor, the vernacular name in Chittagong, 
where it is indigenous, and the fruit eaten by the natives in 
their curries. It is an extensive rambling species, depending 
on other plants for support, but does not root on them, as 
some near? j-allied species do, 
Leaves alternate, short-petioled, oblong, remotely serrate, 
or a compound of that and scollop-dentate, very harsh to the 
feel, from two to five inches long, and from one to two broad. 
Fruit axillary, peduncled ; two is the habit, but rarely more 
than one grows to half the full size, which is that of a large 
olive, turbinate, rough with spongy, brownish tubercles, or 
knobs; when ripe the ground colour is yellow. Umbilicus 
clavate and shut with ciliate scales, Calyx of the fruit 
rather remote from it, and three-lobed. Male corollets, a few 
round the mouth of the umbilicus, monandrous, with from 
three to four-cleft perianths. Female corollets numerous 
over the whole of the smooth inside of the receptacle, with a 
perianth like that of the male.
