Thanks, Viplav ji, for solving the mystery. In that case, it appears more closer to images, details and references at Benkara fasciculata <https://efloraofindia.com/2021/05/02/benkara-fasciculata/> rather than those at Benkara malabarica <https://efloraofindia.com/2017/08/04/benkara-malabarica/> Pl. also see leaf bases in other three images. Both are reported from Orissa as per BSI Flora of India checklist <https://efloraindia.bsi.gov.in/eFlora/speciesList_PCL.action?resultType=genusWise&parent_Id=16285&parent_Name=benkara> . Also see POWO <https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77089753-1> (Benkara fasciculata) and POWO <https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:912144-1> (Benkara malabarica)
