Dear Garg Ji and everybody The fruit certainly looks like Microtropis. Wait until it open or try to tear the fruit open. Using the key in the hyperlink below one needs to see the venation prominent below, and the fruit are (very) slightly obovate. I am not so sure about leaves acute. These are all characters that could look differently once pressed.
“Leaves acute, nerves distinct on lower surface; capsule oblong 5. M. stocks<http://efloraindia.nic.in/efloraindia/taxonList.action?id=4333&type=4> With best wishes, Robert From: J.M.

Leaf shape in the Biotik page<http://biotik.org/india/species/m/micrlati/micrlati_en.html> seems to match Microtropis latifolia Wight ex Lawson but I am not sure.- from Anurag ji. Yes ..., I think you are right in thinking it to be M. latifolia.- from Tapas ji Siddarth Jude Machado expressed his doubts about the ID of this plant. Perhaps it could be another genus entirely. I am at a loss for any further clues/suggestions.- from Anurag ji. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Anurag N.
