Chionanthus – species in eFIoraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available)
… identified this as a Rubiaceae member and perhaps Octotropis sp. (not confirmed).
There is one species O. travancorica but Biotik says that it endemic to southern western ghats (Agasthyamalai and Periyar).
Apart from that, I would like to add that this was found as understorey short tree in an evergreen forest.
It looks like Psychotria sp.
The plant mentioned in the following thread is not a member of oleaceae but Rubiaceae for sure.
If we get flowers of the same we shall confirm the same.
This could be Psychotria canarensis provided that it is from Agumbe.
A flowering picture would confirm the same.
