this is a branch of tree with immature fruits, if any one can help me in the Id of the plant. Photographed at E.Davari dist. of A.P. ; the images were sent by a friend for identification,


Meliaceae


Not Meliaceae


Please check for Opilia amentacea.


Its a species of Elaeocarpus.

Closest I could reach is Elaeocarpus variablis Zmarzty as per comparative images at Elaeocarpus


it looks closer to Elaeocarpus lanceifolius Roxb.,

because of these characters
