Quote from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsa
--- Quote ---Grewia asiatica (Phalsa) is a species of Grewia native to southern Asia from India east to Cambodia, and widely cultivated in other tropical countries[1][2]. Grewia celtidifolia was initially considered a mere variety of Phalsa, but is now recognized as a distinct species.
It is a shrub or small tree growing to 8 m tall. The leaves are broadly rounded, 5-18 cm long and broad, with a petiole 1-1.5 cm long. The flowers are produced in cymes of several together, the individual flowers about 2 cm diameter, yellow, with five large (12 mm) sepals and five smaller (4-5 mm) petals. The fruit is an edible drupe 5-12 mm diameter, purple to black when ripe.[1][3]
