A name for the late fruit bowl

Black Chaunsa is preserved as a named selection, with its own research record.

Black Chaunsa — Pakistan; studied in the Multan region

A name on the map

Punjab’s agricultural reference records Kala Chaunsa separately from SB and Sufaid Chaunsa. The Multan sensory study likewise tests Black Chaunsa (Late) beside Samar Bahisht. Those distinctions matter when choosing fruit; the colour word is a cultivar name, not a promise of black skin. The first naming event remains unresolved in these sources.
