Winged prickly ash is an aromatic, spiny, deciduous shrub up to about 3.5 metres tall, with winged leaf stalks and small red fruits. It grows in the Himalayas and hills of northern India, where it is called timur.
Known in Sanskrit as Tumburu, its fruit and bark are used in Ayurveda and Himalayan folk practice. The tingling fruit is a spice related to Sichuan pepper and is traditionally used in mouth-care and tooth powders.
