It is known for its small, pumpkin-shaped fruit, which is used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Here is a more detailed description of the Chemmen Pulli plant:
- Growth Habit: Chemmen Pulli is a small to medium-sized tree that can grow up to 5-20 meters in height, with a dense, spreading crown. The tree has simple, opposite leaves that are dark green in color, glossy, and elliptical in shape, with prominent veins.
- Flowers: The flowers of Chemmen Pulli are small, unisexual, and usually solitary or in small clusters. The male flowers are yellowish-green, while the female flowers are larger and reddish.
- Fruits: The fruits of Chemmen Pulli are small, round to oblong berries that resemble a small pumpkin or a citrus fruit. The fruit is initially green, but turns yellow or orange when ripe. The rind or pericarp of the fruit is thick and tough, while the pulp or mesocarp is juicy and sour.

It is used as a souring agent in curries, chutneys, and pickles due to its tangy flavor. The fruit rind contains a compound called hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is believed to have potential health benefits, such as weight loss and appetite suppression, although scientific evidence for these claims is limited.
- Medicinal Properties: In traditional medicine, various parts of the Chemmen Pulli tree, including the fruit, leaves, and bark, are used for their purported medicinal properties. They are believed to have anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-ulcer, and anti-obesity properties, among others.
