1. Aegle marmelos (L.) Corrêa (Rutaceae) Bael, Bengal Quince, Stone Apple (Wangyal 2020; Drungtso 1999)

The Shel gong treats bil ba under the heading of ka bed, gourds or squash. There are similarities in colour, shape and hardness of the epicarp, but different in many other aspects. Drungtso (2005) distinguishes ka bed pho, Lagenaria siceraria, and ka bed mo, Aegle marmelos or Bael fruit.
