Thanks Giby ji I also thought so. Actually I remember I had collected this specimen from the same tree for close up photography later which I did on reaching home late in the night. Somehow it appears different here(Last 2 photographs). At least I am happy to know the tree whch I was trying to identify for a long time. Any idea about the leaf edges ..do they have to be serrate??
