Place : Dharmasthala (Karnataka)
small tree, no more than eighteen feet
a local person with us called it ghanera
which is the common name for nothapodytes nimmoniana
but it does not look like nothapodytes nimmoniana to me
also they flower at the end of monsoons
would very much appreciate an id
I think it is a species of Psychotria in Rubiaceae
It looks like Psychotria dalzellii.
Please mention the place name and altitude from where you collected this plant.
This tree was seen in Mahabalaeswar at a height of about 1350 m or 4,500 ft in the second week of march.
