Sir, One way to ascertain the ID of this plant, as per "Bengal Plants", is - the seed of *M. cochinchinensis* Spreng. should be 1 in. long. As per Flora of British India - 7/8 th by 5/8 th and 1/5th in. thick..... irregular, ovate, ... corrugated on margins.
The literature and key by Gurcharan Sir tell me that this plant is likely to be *M. subangulata* ssp. *renigera*. Thank you, Regards, surajit On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 12:45 PM, J.M.
