About: Flacourtia jangomas

Flacourtia jangomas, the Indian coffee plum, or scramberry, is a lowland and mountain rain forest tree in the family Salicaceae. It is widely cultivated in Southeast and East Asia, and has escaped cultivation in a number of places. Its wild origin is unknown but is speculated to be tropical Asia, most perhaps India. This tree is very common in the Southern India and is of culinary and medical importance, especially in Kerala where it is commonly known as lubikka or lololikka. Fruits are eaten both raw and cooked as a jam or pickes, and the bark is sometimes used medicinally. It is sometimes harvested for its lumber. The plant is considered one of the primary host plants of the Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni)
