I hope you’re right sir,

I found it a bit different from Biotik images.
But seems to match as per GBIF specimen as below:

FOR VALIDATION ::
¿ Elaeocarpus variabilis Zmarzty ?

I do not think so.

I have doubts if it is Elaeocarpus at all?

Many thanks … for taking this up.

I am curious to know, and will be glad if someone helps in arriving at the ID.
