Cordia myxa
The fruit of lasura start appearing during July-August. It is a kind of a drupe, light pale to brown or even pink in color. The appearance tends to darken when ripening sets in. Being full of viscid glue like mucilage, the pulp is somewhat translucent. When fully ripe the pulp becomes quite sweet in taste and is fully enjoyed by children. The pulp in a half ripe fruit can even be used as an alternative to paper glue in office work. Gunda pickle is an old traditional favourite of Gujarat and is of enormous popularity amongst all Gujaratis.

right Emma, local name is "Gunda", Gunda pickle is an old traditional favourite item of Gujarat and is of enormous popularity amongst all Gujaratis.
Do they make pickle out of this? It is a little sticky isn't it?
