This moderate-sized tree was shot from Chakrata region in Uttrakhand.. I think this can be Casearia graveolens.. please give your valuable suggestions..
It looks more like Casearia tomentosa Roxb. now Guidonia tomentosa Roxb. To me it is C.tomentosa now known as Guidonia tomentosa (Roxb.) Kurz Valid name remains Casearia tomentosa Roxb. & not Guidonia tomentosa Roxb. Pl. see Casearia Correct name now is Casearia tomentosa Roxb. Members please note that The Plant list version 1.1 of 2013 has superseded version 1 of 2010
Both are available online but entries of Version 1 are grayed out so also check and look for green entries of new version. Casearia tomentosa is a tomentose species. But the present photos show a glabrous plant. To me, the underside of the leaves appear to be tomentose
