Could these be the male flowers of a Drypetes sp. [Putranjivaceae]?
Suregada multiflora
Looks different from images at Suregada multiflora
Also could not find a match as per existing species in efi site at Drypetes
It’s not any other than Suregada …, Check with local flora,
Yes, it is Suregada sp. dear …, but some difference in flower opening compare with indiabiodiversity portal images, also visible lengthy peduncle with more than one bulb(?) at the same site and my plants’ leaves have serrated margins. Local flora image is not available, please share it,
Two species are listed in Flora of Peninsular India as below:
Suregada angustifolia
Suregada multiflora
Both appears to be different from the posted plant.
The flowers are of Suregada multiflora.
Inflorescence of Suregada multiflora (male) visible only as axillary in eFI which is totally different from my plant,
