Is it not the same as posted earlier- T.interrupta?

I think different.

Some Terminalia species.

looks like Terminalia chebula

I agree with … but images in fruiting are required for determining the species with certainty.

I think this is Premna bracteata as per comparative image illustration and GBIF– specimen 1 and specimen 2

Terminalia sp. ?

I think close to images at Terminalia citrina Roxb. ex Fleming as per comparative images at Terminalia‎

Yes …,  Considering the locality, this should be T. citrina. Fruiting material desirable.

Extremely sorry !! Excuse me sir. It is an epiphytic shrub.

Premna bracteata ?

Please discuss. It is not Terminalia citrina. It is a tree, having epiphytic tendency.

It is Premna bracteata, as per images and details herein.
