The common name myrobalan can refer to several unrelated fruit-bearing plant species:

Cherry plum, myrobalan plum (Prunus cerasifera)

Amla, Amalaki, emblic myrobalans (Phyllanthus emblica)

Bibhitaki, Belliric myrobalans (Terminalia bellirica)

Haritaki, Chebulic myrobalans (Terminalia chebula)

Arjuna, Arjun myrobalans (Terminalia arjuna)

Myrobalan extracts (at least from Terminalia chebula) are used for tanning.
