Chebulic Myrobalan/Haritaki
Terminalia chebula
22.5726, 88.3639
Field Notes
Description:
Medium sized tree with simple leaves, bottle-brush kind of pale green flowers. Fruit is the rich plum colour of bruises!
Habitat:
Residential colony. Outside a house/on the road.I asked the owner of the house and he told me the name. Haritaki was part of my Grandmother's everyday herbal medicines but I had NEVER seen a Haritaki tree..or to put it more accurately ...actually never met one formally. This Haritaki tree I havepassed almost daily but had been unable to identify.
Notes:
Terminalia chebula is the main ingredient in the three-ingredient Ayurvedic formulation Tri-phala. The dried fruit is also used in Ayurveda.
Perhaps a debut of PN??
