---

is it Capparis mooni? or Capparis sp. ?

---

Agree with … This is Capparis moonii. Sending some of my photographs.

---

The plant posted by Usha is not Capparis moonii. C. moonii doesnt have as big spines plus the spines are always paired in Capparis. The
spines are solitary in this species. Its most likely to be Paramignya monophylla.

---

ill you please tell us where has the picture been taken ..Maharashtra? other state? Urban/ forest etc.? or Pune itself. I have yet to come across it. Very interesting.

---

I agree with …, its not a young tree. Its a scandent shrub of Paramignya monophylla. Twisted short petioles and long slender spines indicate the ID. Detailed info in the format would have helped in ID.

I can notice your joy and to some extent imagine the fragrance of the white flowers (Which many of them have) shared by you. Nice story associated with the Rutaceae member I have added this to Flora Picture 2012

Not sure of the habit; it could be a straggling shrub OR could be small tree as seen in the last photo. There could be mix of plants. I am eager to know ID just to genus level, if the photo of fruit helps.
The leaf reminds of Calophyllum, the fruit however looks different.
The fruit could be about 1 inch across; not sure.
Genus ID please
