Dear All Yes, this is *Aleurites moluccana* (L.) Willd., commonly called Candle-nut tree or *Jungli-Akhrot* (in Hindi), originally introduced and cultivated in tea gardens and now found in many gardens and also often found naturally in secondary forests. The kernel of the seed is edible and has a pleasant walnut taste.
