<p>Content Updated.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Plum&#039;&#039;&#039; popular fruits of diverse origin; hog-plum obtained from &#039;&#039;Sapindus mombin&#039;&#039; and the Spanish-plum from &#039;&#039;S. purpurea&#039;&#039;, both belong to the mango family, Anacardiacea. These plants are native to tropical America. But the true plum is obtained from several medium sized tree species of Prunus. The &#039;&#039;P. domestica&#039;&#039;, native to Eurasia, is the best known and widely cultivated. The other common plum is obtained from &#039;&#039;P. salicina&#039;&#039;, native of China and Japan. Other major plum is obtained from some American species of the same genus Prunus (&#039;&#039;P. americana&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;P. hortulana&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;P. nigra&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;P. maritima&#039;&#039;). The fruits are either taken as fresh or canned; widely used in the preparation of jams.<br /> <br /> In Bangladesh there is no cultivated plum and the fruit is also less known. However, one well-known berry, Kalajam, also known as Black-plum or Java-plum (&#039;&#039;Syzyzium cumini&#039;&#039;; Myrtaceae), is widely cultivated in Bangladesh. It is a large evergreen tree. The flowers are greenish white, fragrant, sessile in panicles. The fruit is a berry, elongated marble like having black deep purple juicy pulp. The fruits mature in July-August and are mostly taken fresh or with chili-salt-spice; also used for making jelly. [Mostafa Kamal Pasha]</div>
