Dear friends, Please validate this plant to be *Adelocaryum lambertianum*; photographed by my flickr friend Ryan Brookes<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fpeople%2Fryanbrookes%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfX2tqqV6uio764mrJcviPK4AabBw>at Ambenali Ghat (~2500 asl) near Pratapgad, Maharashtra on two different dates 25 SEP 2011 and 3 OCT 2011. My friend's guess (as well as mine) is strongly based on Dr Aparna's comment at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/genus$20Mattiastrum/indiantreepix/3YoFtWfx_eo/OTuQ54_fd8UJ
