Euphorbiaceae!!! but which one?

Euphorbiaceae for sure but not sure of the name

it is Suregada angustifolia i think.

Looks different from images at 

Yes, good image of Suregada angustifolia.

Thanks, … But why the leaves look different from the images at the links?

I overlooked. The leaves are opposite here, crenulate, fruits solitary, 3-lobed. This should be Excoecaria crenulata Wight.
Thank you once again for pointing out.
