I clicked this pic in Jijamata Udyan in April 2015. Unfortunately, this is the lone pic that I have.
At the time, I had received a suggestion that it may be some Canarium species. We do not have many Canarium pics in our database.
Am hoping to get an ID, if possible, from experts, possibly those who are very well acquainted with the trees in Jijamata Udyan.
Looks like it. Hopefully, someone validates it. . References:
