Thanks a lot Santhosh ji. Memecylon species is very difficult to identify and there is very less differences between M. umbellatum or M. edule or a M. heyneanum. I referred to the flora of presidency of madras and also the book by Neginahal but i was unable to narrow down properly. It would be very helpful for me if you could give us the keys based on which you narrowed it down to umbellatum and more so how you came to the conclusion that it is neither royenii and heyneanum.
