An earlier discussion link on Diospyros montana 
https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/d9…

To me it doesnt look like D. montana..
reason: 1. venation on leaf margin not like of D. montana..
2. Here leaves look opp. whereas in D. montana more or less alternate.. 


Yes it may not be Diospyros. In addition to opposite leaves the persistent enlarged calyx of Diospyros is missing.


This is not Diospyros montana. Sending photographs of the leaves of a saplings at my farm for comparison. Attachments (2)
Also have serious doubts that the tree in the link provided below by … is actually D.montana


Pictures posted here by .. are of Strychnos potatorum.
Tamil name: Thethaan, Thethaangkottai தேத்தான், தேத்தாங்கொட்டை
Local use: Seeds are used to treat unclear water to make it potable.
