It could be a Symplocos sp. Symplocos dryophila C. B. Clarke or Symplocos sumuntia Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don ???
For Symplocos dryophila C. B. Clarke, pl. see illustration at

To me does not match with anyone, if we go by these images.
Finally flowers after a long wait ! Guess it is matching with Symplocos pyrifolia Wall. ex G. Don !
