"This is a very big-fruited variety of E. jambolana, commonly called the Rai-jaman. 

 It has fruits as big as good-sized damsons, which are very nice if put between two 

 plates with a pinch of salt and shaken a few times: this takes away the astringent taste 

 from them. They come fairly true from seed . " ( Mustoe.) 



Distribution. — A large tree found from the lower slopes of the Himalayas in India, 

 eastward and southward to China and the islands of the ]Malay Archipelago.
