Dalbergia latifolia  Roxb.  

Yes. The ID is correct.


nice old growth tree


I think the leaves in the 1st image and 4th image, appears to be from some different tree than Dalbergia latifolia Roxb.


It is difficult for me to stress whether yes/ no, because there were three trees close by.
Since I am not fully confident, I will remove the labels in flickr photostream for those respective photos.
Thanks … for validating.

Yes. This one is Dalbergia latifolia


… is correct the first image not belongs to Dalbergia because the plant has simple leaves, that might be Haldenia or Adina cordifolia, you can remove that.


Thank you very vert much … for the close scrutiny, and correcting my wrong identifications.
Indeed the leaves are simple and belong to Adina cordifolia.
I will send a separate post that will carry photos of Adina cordifolia.
