Hi Mr.Garg, This looks like Cordia myxa to me too. According to Pradip Krishen's new book 'Jungle Trees of Central India' [which is fairly well researched and presented] : - C.myxa is the accepted name and C.dichotoma is a synonym. - it closely resembles C.obliqua in the field, though C. obliqua is a smaller tree with larger,broader usually non-toothed leaves and larger fruit. My photographs of C.myxa are available at these links : Google Groups<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Cordia$20myxa$20Neil$20Soares%7Csort:relevance%7Cspell:true/indiantreepix/E6M6JTG8gnQ/Ncv039QSFwoJ> Google Groups<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Cordia$20myxa$20Neil$20Soares%7Csort:relevance%7Cspell:true/indiantreepix/z-tHekrRBnM/H8ALaIegXlkJ> Google Groups<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Cordia$20myxa$20Neil$20Soares%7Csort:relevance%7Cspell:true/indiantreepix/2KO9B8MRulE/_VdmXvmyeJUJ> My photographs of C.obliqua [though wrongly labelled] are available at this link : Google Groups<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Cordia$20myxa$20Neil$20Soares%7Csort:relevance%7Cspell:true/indiantreepix/ya0-jTT-3Z0/Ot961JDq6RQJ> With regards, Neil Soares.

Some earlier relevant feedback: looks like *Cordia myxa* - from Ajinkya ji. efi page on Cordia dichotoma<https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/b/boraginaceae/cordia/cordia-dichotoma> As per Singh ji: "*Cordia myxa* L., and *Cordia dichotoma *Forst as such are distinct species The problem arose that the name* C. myxa* was also used for plants from India, which is same as *C. obliqua* Willd., a name adopted in Flora of British India. This plant is now correctly known *C. dichotoma* Forst. The plant should be cited as: *Cordia dichotoma* Forst. syn: *Cordia obliqua* Willd.; *C. myxa* auct. (non L.); *C. indica* Lam.; C. *latifolia* Roxb. *Cordia myxa* L. is a distinct plant now understood to be confined to Asia minor and Egypt " ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Dilip Pandit* <[email protected]> Date: 23 April 2014 14:57 Subject: [efloraofindia:186794] ID please of this tree To: [email protected] This tree was photographed in South Dinajpur of West Bengal. Local villagers claim fancifully that there are only a handful of these trees in India. Is curious to know which is this tree.
