烏曇跋羅（梵語花名舊云優曇波羅花或云優曇婆羅花葉似梨果大如拳其味甜無花而結子亦有花而難值故經中以喻希有者也）。

Udumbara (烏曇跋羅: Sanskrit; the name of a flower. Formerly written 優曇波羅 flower or 優曇婆羅 flower. Its leaves resemble pear leaves, and its fruit is as large as a fist and sweet in taste. It bears fruit without flowering; it also does have flowers, but they are rarely encountered, which is why in the sūtras it is used as a metaphor for what is rare).
