Dear Garg ji, In my plant flowers are perfect(the male and female flowers are not separate). Also the leaves are serrated almost to the base as in C.Australis. A look at the photos will make it clear.I think those who identified it as C.australis did it on the basis of the leaves. It is interesting that Marathi name Bramuj is very similar to the Kàshmiri name Bramij. Celtis genus is an interesting genus and some scholars have identified Lotos tree of greek mythology made famous by Tennyson as Celtis australis. In Kashmir Brimij is planted in graveyards and shrines attesting to some now forgotten mythology.associated with the tree. Regards Taffazull
