Date: 28th December 2014
Place: Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary
Habit: Short tree
I am not sure if what I have photographed are flowers or dehisced fruits.
Either way, they were sweetly scented and came away from the stalk very easily.

Could this be Chionanthus mala-elengi ??


Thank you very much sir.
So looking at the photos in this- http://biotik.org/india/chiomala_en.html,
I have photographed flowers. Couldn’t be sure of it earlier.

Family: Oleaceae


Yes, thank you sir.
