Many thanks Garg ji for providing the response to this thread. Thank you very very much Tapas ji for the clarity regarding limitation to resolve the ID of this query. Someday when I visit Coorg again (hopefully during fruiting season of this plant), I will make it a point to go the site to get the photos.
