Well, the characters of the female flowers, especially the styles and the
fruits are among the important diagnostic characters in the genus
*Glochidion.*

The present images are of very low resolution. We can see a leafy twig with
infructescences having clusters of pedicellate capsular fruits in the axils
of fallen leaves simulating a raceme (pseudoraceme). Next, the fruits were
4-locular, deeply lobed and some lobes again bilobulte.  In this alliance
we have species like *G. tirupathiense, G. acuminatum, G. sphaerogynum *and
so on. They are distinguishable mainly by the charcters of the styes.

*Glochidion acuminatum -  *style columnar to clavate, 0.5-2 mm long,
connate below into a column; apical lobes 4-5, 0.3-1 mm long, erect or
spreading.

*Glochidion tirupathiense - *style columnar, ca 2 mm long, connate below
into a column; apical lobes ca 0.5 mm long, erect.

*Glochidion sphaerogynum - *style subglobose or button-like or discoid,
fused, 1-1.5 x 2-3 mm.

In the present images we can observe a few fruits with persistent styles
which are in a ring, hollow at the middle and very short in length.  It is
not possible to ascertain whether there was a short column subtending them.
In view of these observation and an incomplete picture as to the exact
structure and size of the styles, the tentative identification here is
*Glochidion
acuminatum *Müll.Arg. var. *acuminatum.*

Thanks and regards.
