Many thanks, Saroj ji for the check on ID. I found one difference among the two high altitude species that are found in the Nilgiris; it may be decisive for changing our ID to *Gomphandra coriacea* Wight.
I found the difference in Digital Flora of Peninsular India by Herbarium JCB: *Gomphandra coriacea* Wight - inflorescence is leaf opposed *Gomphandra tetrandra* (Wall.) Sleumer - inflorescence is axillary Also, some other facts from the internet: *Gomphandra coriacea* Wight - fruiting seen often on older, "naked" parts of the twig. *Gomphandra tetrandra* (Wall.) Sleumer - fruiting typically found among active, green leaves. Thus I strongly feel that the posted plant is *Gomphandra coriacea* Wight Regards.
