though considered inferior to C. arabica, this coffee is commercially as important … it produces larger and quicker yield and is less prone to infection. Moreover coffee manufacturers use this coffee as a purposeful blend with other coffees to achieve certain tastes that are popular world-wide.  
Seen at Kodagu Valley Resort on 30 MAR 11 … as such found planted all over Mercara (Coorg).

Is it Coffea Arabica?

I thought it was Coffea liberica sir. Waiting for confirmation.

Photo was clicked in a coffee plantation but did not resemble the Coffea arabica growing there.

The tree has been identified as Coffea robusta.

ID confirmation – MS210411 -30 – Coffee plant: I am sending the photographs of cofee plant.  Photos taken near  Dubare Elephant Camp. Coorg.  Date 27.2.11.  Not sure of which species.  C. arabica or robusta.

– I think it is Coffea arabica 

– … with .. … Coffea arabica … little knowledge (could be wrong): this shrub would have leaves loosely similar in shape AND / OR size to that of our familiar Tabernaemontana divaricata. 

To me appears more closer to images at Coffea canephora Pierre ex A.Froehner rather than those at Coffea arabica L. 
The ID provided by … tallies with the photographs in the link provided by him.
