Flora of Panipat: Zizyphus nummularia from village vaisari Panipat: Zizyphus nummularia from village vaisari Panipat Wild shrub growing in roadside area very nice to see the flowers… Its called chanibor..ચણીબોર in Gujarati. a small dark red ber… I remember this was our favorite to eat as my dad took us trekking along the country roads to introduce us to our native state… we used pick them right off the tree, and in those days.. there was not the black soot along country roads that I saw in 2002… so back then we could eat them right off the tree..now one has to wash them well ….you can enjoy these for next few months.. I believe they ripen in December at least in Gujarat … We eat this with addition of little black salt Chaniya maniya in Marathi. Seen outside all schools.
Zizyphus mauritiana Lam. ?? : 12 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (6) Sharing some pictures I guess is Zizyphus mauritiana Lam. shot at Chitwan National Park, Nepal on 13 January 2013 at 600 ft. Nepali Names: बयर Bayar / ठुलो बयर Thulo Bayar Thanks, …, for the nice images and tempting fruits. I think you are right. For me the ID is correct. Looks Ziziphus numuleria. In North India it is known as Jharberi. I think … is right. I will go with Ziziphus nummularia For me the ID is doubtful. I still believe it could be Z. mauritiana only. Compare again the characters in detail. The best person to judge is …, who can compare the vegetative & floral characters and decide the species. HaHa! I am not a Dr. just a commoner !
ID REQUEST OF THESE WILD `BER’ GROWING IN THE SHIWALIKS, NORTH-WEST OF CHANDIGARH? : 11 posts by 4 authors. 2 images. Could the learned members of the group establish the identity/sub-species of these `ber’ growing wild in the Shiwaliks, lying to the north-west of Chandigarh. Photo taken on 25.11.2014. The plant bore many thorns, and the colour of the fruit was yellow, brown or even maroon. Does this fruit bear any food value for humans? Can be Zizyphus species. I think Ziziphus mauritiana However, these fruits are very small when ripe and grow wild. Z. mauritiana is the cultivated `ber’ and is of a large size. Or is the wild `ber’ also Z. mauritiana? Could this actually be Ziziphus nummularia? Thanks, … I think you are right- Ziziphus nummularia Could u please furnish some info on its specific character, some interesting, unknown facts? Ber is widely cultivated in commercial scale, several cultivated as well as wild species and strains are available. The fruits are edible, used to make some food preparations also. Exclusive research stations are available in India and Pakistan. Now it is ber season, tons of hybrid fruits (considered to be poor man’s Apple) coming to the Chennai and Bangalore market. I think the identity of this species has been finally settled. On the asking of Prof SP Khullar, former, HoD, Botany dept, Panjab Univ, Chandigarh, I supplied him with some cuttings of the zizyphus from the Shiwaliks near Chandigarh. They bore fruit, which was yellow, brown and maroon, ie, in various stages of ripening. Maroon was the final stage just before turning dry. Prof Khullar, on examination of the samples, especially the leaves, confirmed it as Zizyphus nummularia. Zizyphus nummularia is most frequently growing shrub in Sub-tropical zones bearing globose/ rounded fruits which turn brownish maroon on maturity. Yes, matches exactly the shrub that I have in mind.

Other Gujarati names of this species are ખેતરાઉ બોરડી and પાલેરાં. Thank you very very much … for the names, clarity and information.
