My attention was drawn when Neil ji suggested the id Croton virbalae, previously C. oblongifolius. The leaves are indeed similar to that. Just looks at the young parts and see whether there are lepidote scales. If not then look at the undersurface of the leaves, at the junction of petiole and lamina. There will be two tiny sessile orbicular glands, if it is a Croton. Let me inform that Croton virbalae is a superfluous illegitimate name, applied for C. oblongifolius Roxb. and if the above characters as mentioned are present, the correct name will be *Croton persimilis *Mull.Arg. emend. Philcox. It is called *Ganasura *or *Gunsur *or *Ghansar *in Marathi. Regards, Tapas.
