Appears to be some Grewia species. Without flowers difficult to comment on the species. Precisely this shrub is Grewia hirsuta, I could taste the Honey-sweet of these fruits when we were in field works; common in dry deciduous forests.
First I hesitated to eat this fruit owing to its hirsuite nature, but it is really good.
Local Tamil name: Thaen kallai [seeds of honey] I agree with … Thanks for the ID. Grewia hirsuta.

Grewia hirsuta
Pune Indeed, really beautiful!! Its G. hirsuta, noticed because of uni-sexual flowers, missing pistil in it.
Found in Bangalore Yes Grewia hirsuta. 26th September 2014 Apparently look like Grewia hirsuta, though most of the times I have seen it in unisexual flowers, there are bisexuals too!! Thank you very much … I will wait for the fruits and post them soon. Here are the fruits observed on the same plant today- Attachments (4). I think it is Grewia hirsuta, too. Nice pictures! Thank you … for follow up!! Yes it is Grewia hirsuta !!! Agree with … Grewia hirsuta

Please help me identify this plant. is it Trema? or Grevia? It looks like Grewia hirsuta. It is Grewia laevigata [G.serrulata]. It is Grewia serrulata
… id is correct. attaching same flower
Here is a link for some details & vernacular names of Grewia laevigata (G.serrulata) :http://flickr.com/photos/91314344@N00/1843390318 Beautiful pictures from both … What are your locations of these plants? I took this photograph in the Hyderabad University campus in Gachibowli. I used to see a lot of Grewia trees on Vetal hill/Hanuman Tekdi In Pune. What about Gavali (Grewia helicterifolia syn G polygama). Pl. check & let us know pl. Here is a link for details: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242422697 Here is … reply in another mail:
“… has corrected it as Grewia hirsuta. According to him…….
Please help me identifying the attached plant images.
Habit: Small shrub. Unarmed
Leaves : Alternate, Oblong, elliptic, finely serrate.
Flowers : not in flowering.
Fruits: 4 lobed – 4 seeded, reddish purple when ripe
Really sorry for poor image quality.
Is this from Rhamnaceae ? Grewia sp details of habitat, location and season of fruiting etc would be helpful! Thanks for your response. Following are the additional details.
Location: Talegaon Dabhade, District Pune
Habitat: Road side, fallow land
Fruiting / flowering season: Difficult to guess since the berries are dry and must have been on the plant for more than 1 month or so. (8.3.14)
Seeds : 4 nos
Leaves resemble to that of Zizyphus sp. interms of venation, appearance etc.
Not sure if this will be helpful. It could be Grewia serrulata Thank you for the possible id. Am convinced about Grewia sp. The thing going against G.serrulata is the berries in G.serrulata are deeply 2 lobed. In this case the berries are distinctly 4 lobed.
I guess I will have to wait for the flowers for the id to be conclusive. I have seen them 4 lobed in G. serrulata, but best to wait for the flowers, as you said I will also go with Grewia serrulata DC.. But also check with images at Grewia bracteata Roth
For me its Grewia hirsuta! . Shrub for id_ Hyderabad Flora: 4 images. This shrub was observed in the wild at Velamala, Hyderabad in July 2021.
It was rocky terrain with scrub vegetation.
Shrub height-4 feet
Flowers were observed.
Is it a Grewia sp?
Please help in the id. Grewia hirsuta ? Yes, It’s Grewia hirsuta I guess correct ID ! Yes from me also. Yes Grewia hirsuta. Thanks … It was growing wildly and beautifully in rocky terrain and sandy soil.
