Dear members I have checked the fruits after returning back to Delhi. My plant is not C. olitorius. It is clearly C. trilocularis.

Earlier relevant feedback: "... I am posting what I am considering as C. olitorious ... it differs from what is shown in Gurcharan ji's photos. I am not sure whether the fruits in Gurcharan ji's photos have got smoothened OR softened due to JPG compression ... that is, there is very slight hint of ribs. In my case, the ribs are prominent ... my ID requires validation" "Dinesh ji This is developing into another interesting thread. I find my fruits are lacking ridges. May be they are young, or something more. The plant is growing in our botanical garden, and would be in fruit when I reach back to Delhi on 13th October. I will now concentrate on this plant keeping C. pseudo-olitorius in mind. Let us see what comes out. ............ Gurcharan Singh " "Or more likely C. trilocularis ........Gurcharan Singh" "Since the capsule is glabrous .......it can be C.depressusif less than 3.5 cm long................also the leaves are 3 nerved as in your picture. or C.trilocularis.......if 5-7 cm long.
