Flacourtia jangomas, or also known as the Indian coffee plum, Indian plum,[2]: 73  or scramberry, is a lowland and mountain rain forest tree in the family Salicaceae.[3][4] It was once placed in the Flacourtiaceae family.[2] It is widely cultivated in Southeast and East Asia, and has escaped cultivation in a number of places.[5] Its wild origin is unknown but is speculated to be tropical Asia, *most perhaps India.[5][6]

This tree is very common in the Southern India and is of culinary and medical importance, especially in Kerala.
