Curry tree
The curry tree (''Murraya koenigii'' or ''Bergera koenigii'') is a tropical to sub-tropical tree in the family Rutaceae (the rue family, which includes rue, citrus, and satinwood), which is native to India and Sri Lanka.
Its leaves are used in many dishes in India and neighbouring countries. Often used in curries, the leaves are generally called by the name 'curry leaves,' although they are also literally 'sweet neem leaves' in most Indian languages (as opposed to ordinary neem leaves which are very bitter and in the family Meliaceae, not Rutaceae).
==Description==
It is a small tree, growing 4–6 m (13–20 feet) tall, with a trunk up to diameter. The aromatic leaves are pinnate, with 11-21 leaflets, each leaflet long and broad. The plant produces small white flowers which can self-pollinate to produce small shiny-black berries containing a single, large viable seed. Though the berry pulp is edible—with a sweet but medicinal flavor—in general, neither the pulp nor seed are used for culinary purposes.〔
The species name commemorates the botanist Johann König. The genus Murray commemorates Johann Andreas Murray who died in 1791.
