About

Grewia emarginata is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It is a scrambling shrub native to the western Himalayas, southwestern India, and Sri Lanka.

It has many similarities with and may be a synonym of Grewia optiva (which, to add to the confusion, has the synonym Grewia oppositifolia Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don); they share a similar range, habitat, appearance, growth form, common names, and local uses as a source of forage, timber, fruit, and medicine.
