Dear Muthu Karthick, There are options to identify your species particularly woody- trees and lianas of Western Ghats by using Vegetative key of Pascal and Ramesh (Published by French Institute of Pondicherry); the other one is: Biotik.org- online (as well desktop based DVD) system is available for identification of the tree species of evergreen forest (only for the Western Ghats)- also published from French Institute. *For me based on the images you have uploaded it could be Actinodaphne bourdillonii* Gamble - *LAURACEAE* further confirmation u can do it with the online version, check with floras and herbarium if possible. With regards Ayyappan, N
