The plant kapitthapatri and its synonyms are not found in brhat trayi texts. Even dhanvantari nighantu, sodhala nighantu and raja nighantu did not cover this plant. Kaiyadeva only mentioned it after madanapala. Its botanical identity is unknown. However, author proposes one of the following species of Feroniella as kapitthapatri owing to the similarities between Feronia limonia and Feroniella species.
i.) Feroniella lucida (Java feroniella)
ii.) Feroniella oblata (Indo-China feroniella)
iii.) Feroniella pubescens (Velvety feroniella)
