Surajit ji can't do that :) beacuse T. bellirica is perhaps the only species (in India at least) that do not have foliar glands. Sorry to disappoint you :) However, the posted pictures are of Terminalia bellirica as identified by Dr. Neil. We have observed variations in the size and shape of leaves as well as fruits in this species.

Try to capture the glands at the base of mature leaf. I am sure you will do that. Unfortunately I don't have good photograph of these. I recently learnt that every Terminalia has unique gland structure. Why not have good photographs of each? This request is even to other members.

I am now convinced that the plant/tree is T. bellirica as have been identified by you. Initially i was hesitant because - 1) because of the description of 2.15 cm long leaf-stalk as in - http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Baheda.html 2) in my images all leaves originate from the apex of the shoot, whereas your imges at - http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20p?see=I_PAO1999&res=640 and at - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/Terminalia$20Neil$20Soares/indiantreepix/3xFtSa7jWFo/rq4suJX2k-IJ show alternate leaves. Most other images available in the net also tally with both of you. However, after more search found my target at - http://ayurvedaelements.com/resources/spice/Terminalia%20belerica.png?timestamp=1266630963601 . Moreover, wiki says, "Two varieties of T. belerica are found in India..." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminalia_bellirica. Thank you very much for giving me your valuable time and identifying this tree. I cannot express my gratitude in terms of words only.

But the leaf stalk is much longer in my post than this description "Leaves are 8-20 cm long, 7.5-15 cm wide, on stalks 2.15 cm long...." at http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Baheda.html.
