Inflorescence and foliage look much like ombu, Phytolacca dioica, from South America. Is this a cultivated tree?

In E acuminata (Boraginaceae) the leaves are serrate. Most probably this is E. laevis with the asymmetric nature of leaves. To confirm the id I need the number of styles and whether the style is bifid or not. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
