Buchanania lanzan, commonly known as charoli nut, almondette, Cuddapah almond, calumpong, Hamilton mombin,[2][3][4] is a deciduous tree in the family Rutaceae.

[6] Genus Buchanania is named for Francis Buchanan (1762–1829), a Scottish botanist, explorer, naturalist, and surgeon in the British East India Company.

[9] The charoli tree is native to Bangladesh, Cambodia, China (south-central and Hainan), India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Western Himalayas.

They are commonly used in Indian sweets, or ground into powders for thickening and flavoring savory sauces, batters and kormas.

A decoction can be prepared from the bark of the stem or the leaves, to be used as a treatment for indigestion, mumps, impotence, spermatorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding, diarrhea, and snakebite.

With a potential annual production of 5000 metric tonnes, Chhattisgarh is the highest-producing state in India for charoli fruit.
