These cannot be Blepharistemma serratum because as per Biotik database they have simple, opposite leaves, interpetiolar and caducous. Both shobha ji's and Dinesh ji's pictures show alternate leaves and leaf margins also do not match Blepharistemma serratum.
The pictures cannot be Casearia ovata either leaves, margins and flowers not matching. regards, Rashida.
