Garg ji, Welcome. I am aware of all the 3 species of Alchornea in India. The dividing lines between A. mollis and A. tiliifolia are narrow. So, one needs to see the undersurface of the leaves for a conclusive decision. The present images are not showing the lower surface clearly. We are unable to know about the foliar glands and the nature of pubescence. Till then, the identity will remain doubtful. Regards, Tapas
