Prashant ji, I appreciate your keen observation. I am seeing pictures of this (female) tree for the first time but can say that this is female plant of T. nudiflora. Globose woody fruits with 3 yellow styles can be seen on long stout peduncles. The leaves also tally though Rashida ji and Neil ji seem to differ. The other tree posted in another post is a male tree of the same sp. clearly showing flowers with stamens in pedulous racemes. The female tree is fruiting so the male tree had to be around, good you got both together. Why not search for another Trewia polycarpa which has female flowers in racemes and the fruits are 8 mm, ovoid instead of 3 cm, globose as in T. nudiflora. I have been searching for this tree for last several years. Keep it up. Regards, Shrikant
