Here is a further reply from Neil ji:
" Hi,
Dr. Almeida has identified the plant as:
Trewia polycarpa
Regards,
Neil Soares."
Hardly any pictures or details on net. Here are links for *Trewia polycarpa*:
http://books.google.co.in/books?id=umMFT6tKtrkC&pg=PA471&lpg=PA471&dq=Trewia+polycarpa&source=web&ots=1zLM-0SEf1&sig=9j0hkAwBXnfYFqfHoMxnYAR0feI&hl=en&ei=_z6ZSdCWMozo6QP29tGQCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result
(some desc. from *An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India* By K. M.
Matthew) &

(medicinal
uses from *Encyclopaedia of World Medicinal Plants* By T. Pullaiah).
Does anybody has pictures or any other inf. about this species i.e. *Trewia
polycarpa*.
