Belleric myrobalan is a tall deciduous tree of the Combretaceae family with a straight trunk, broad leaves clustered at the branch tips, small pale flowers with an unpleasant smell and round, velvety grey-brown fruits. It is common on the plains and lower hills of South and Southeast Asia, including the forests of Kerala, and is often planted along roads.
The dried fruit is used. Called Bibhitaki in Ayurveda, it is one of the three fruits of Triphala and is traditionally valued for respiratory comfort, hair care and digestive wellness.
