Good identification, Surajit ji! The nearly fiddle-shaped (panduriform) leaf, and the collection locality (Chittagong Hill Tract, Bangladesh) very well support your ID: *Semecarpus subpanduriformis*.
[I really wish the Flora of India and all the collections of CNH (to start with) are made available online soon. Without the efloras and online references and images it won't be possible to ID most of the difficult plants. It is a good practice to visit herbaria for ID, but it is not always possible/feasible and many a times just an image of the herbarium is sufficient to conclude the ID.] Thanks to Sourav ji for posting this plant.
