Subin, I don't think your spotting is that of Cranberry either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium_oxycoccos When you ID your spotting, you need to give a reference (web link) to support your ID, as stated In Project Noah FAQ. When editing your spotting, you will see a box on the right hand side allocated for web references. Thanks.

Interesting spotting, Subin. The fruits look a little like gooseberries but the leaves and other parts look a little different to Ribes uva-crispa. Is this plant/shrub being cultivated in Kerala - a hybrid maybe ?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gooseberry Do you have a web reference for this ? I'd be interested to know more. I think Aamla is the hindi name for the Indian Gooseberry Phyllanthus emblica https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllanthus_emblica
