I think this is better. This states so many things. 

Dr. C. M. Sabapathy, Scientist at the Indian Botanic Garden has developed a mobile App which can track every perennial plant in the garden with name, location, habit, and longitude and latitude. As per his App this is Quassia amara L. (Simaroubaceae). Hats off to Dr. Sabapathy.  

Thank you …! Can you please suggest the Apps nske.

This app will be launched around December – January. Once you enter the garden there will be free wi fi and it will guide you to the correct location of any plant available there. Dr. Sabapathy showed it to me one day and I was astonished.

Here is the location of your plant :
