Neil ji, Thanks for your picture and feedback. Berries were not very large, approx 1 to 1.5 cm. Most of them sweet, few a bit sour. Years ago, I recollect these were sold by vendors at the Kasara railway station, in tiny baskets made of leaves. You see a lot of these bushes in the Kasara-Igatpuri

I think it's more likely to be Derris scandens, as it is blooming all over the area now. Pongamia flowering is mostly over. regards Radha On Tuesday, July 2, 2013 10:00:58 AM UTC+5:30, Alka Khare wrote: Hello friends Requesting to please ID these white flowers fallen on the forest floor
