Attachments (8) Date: 28th December 2014 Place: Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary Habit: Short tree I am not sure if what I have photographed are flowers or dehisced fruits. Either way, they were sweetly scented and came away from the stalk very easily. Could this be Chionanthus mala-elengi ?? Thank you very much sir. So looking at the photos in this- http://biotik.org/india/chiomala_en.html, I have photographed flowers. Couldn’t be sure of it earlier. Family: Oleaceae Yes, thank you sir.
