Spotting

I have included the url in the mail. Thanks again. :)

Hi Harsha, the rangers don't make that decision but if you email the above missions address they will take a look. Thanks!

I have sent a mail. Please see if you can make it global. Thanks Karen.

Harsha, thank you for inviting me to join your "forbidden fruits" mission - unfortunately your mission is a local one & should only only include spottings within the 300 mile radius. Here is what it says in the instructions for creating a new mission -

With user created local missions, you can create, manage, and promote your very own local Project Noah mission.
User created local missions have been designed for small groups, classrooms, and individual users. If you're a larger organization interested in tapping into our global community of citizen scientists, we can work with you to create a custom mission. Contact us today at missions@projectnoah.org
Fill out the details and select the geographical area where your mission will take place. Keep in mind that your mission must fall within a radius of at most 300 miles (482 km).

I think the plant was larger than the solanum plants. And I don't think anyone would eat it as it was growing wild near the river.

This plant might belong to the Solanaceae family.

Looks very much like the edible Solanum tovum - eaten in India and Thailand as a vegetable. It is extremely bitter to taste. The plant has thorns and flowers are white in colour. Having said that, the fruits of S.tovum are smooth whereas these appear slightly furry...??
