Dear Mr Garg, This is certainly becoming very interesting. It is possible that the fruits in my picture, are unripe versions of the fruits in the pictures which you posted. Yet, they don't seem to agree with Dinesh's picture of fruits, which I believe to be of M. nudiflorus. Guess I need to study this issue in more details. Will get back with my views later. Thanks for putting forth your views very clearly. Best wishes - Tabish
