Hi, This looks very much like Madhuca longifolia var longifolia(South indian Mahua) to me too. This does not look like Madhuca nerifolia because M. nerifolia fruit has a characteristic beaked strand like structure in the end of the fruit. Also the leaf apex of M. nerifolia is rounded and i can see in one of the leaf in the picture that that apex is not rounded. Rgds Ajit On Thursday, May 22, 2014 8:54:04 AM UTC+5:30, JM Garg wrote:
