Dear Vijay, Thanks for the verification. I checked the details in the "Identification Keys to Genera & Species of Dipterocarpaceae of Thailand" wherein it has been mentioned *leaves glabrous on both surfaces - it is S. talura Roxb. & leaves pubescent beneath - it is S. talura Roxb. var. saigonensis*. In this case it is pubescent beneath and so i presume it has to be S.talura var saigonensis. I would like you to provide me any other keys which i could refer to. It is still in flowering stage and once the fruits are set it would be easier.
