Many thanks Garg ji for resurfacing my post.
The post in eFI group that you have pointed, has keys provided by Gurcharan ji.
He concludes by saying "Things are not very clear seeing lot of variability and
confusion in literature but for me most features especially leaves and young
fruit go with C. carandas".
There is lot of variability and confusion; status of C. congesta is not clear.
Let us hope some one sorting this genus comes forward and puts his / her
thoughts too.
Regards.Dinesh
