Dear Tabish, Neil, Have a look at this link of "flora of eastern Ghats". It talks about both the species i.e Casearia eaculenta as well as C.graveolens. http://books.google.co.in/books?id=pSXidQZupHYC&pg=PA83&lpg=PA83&dq=Casearia+graveolens&source=bl&ots=FcKI3AFHcs&sig=ihKZ8ABft6q6IYRJ5mB7f3ACPVM&hl=en&ei=UD8GSsTIJKTk6gPNpv2bAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9#PPA83,M1
It indicates that for C.graveolens, the capsule is ellipsoid / sub-globuse where as for C. esculenta it mentions as only ellipsoid, orange as earlier indicated by Neil. Best wishes Prashant..
