Hi, Satish ji,
What possibly I ignored most in the first instance was the* white colour* of

which were also *thinner* compared to those of *Elaeodendron glaucum.*

> Both the plants are from family Celastraceae so the flowers are bound to be

> Were the branches terminating into flower and leaf bearing spines?
> I may be wrong and open for discussion. I still feel it to be *Elaeodendron

> The points in its favour.
