Its a great pleasure to me to see this picture. This is from the back side of my children's school. Blogging made me a nature lover and my eyes always searching for new colours and shapes of nature. It was an open house day. I had noticed this fruit and taken the photos. I had asked my friends about its name and at last posted without name. Through comments I got the name Noni. Now I am searching for the malayalam name of this plant. Its a journey to knowledge through the blogs.....

Doesn't look like Othalanga. There is some other name; cant remeber!
Probably this is a fruit known variously as Kattapitavalam, Manjanathhi, Manjanatthi, Mannanatti, Mannapavatta, Mannappavitta (not sure though).
This is not othalanga. othalanga has leaves more resembles mango leaf and flower will be white and is some what like white arali flower.
this is a noni plant.. and the fruit is called noni fruit
