Pl. check with <\/span>Artocarpus lacucha<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Not Artocarpus lacucha<\/i>. That has been seen by me in Lalbagh.<\/div>\n
… had given the directions. Leaves are very different.
\nPossibly … could help.<\/span><\/div>\n

I am adding a cropped picture of the tiny fruit, roughly the size of a Ber (Ziziphus<\/i>)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Its a species of Grewia<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Please check for Actinidia<\/i> species\/ Actinidaceae<\/i>. Fruit has resemblance to this species.\u00a0But not sure.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks … This fruit was very small as compared to Kiwi.<\/p>\n

\n

For me apparently look likes\u00a0Grewia carpinifolia <\/i>Juss. (=G. rhamnifolia <\/i>Heyne ex Roxb.).<\/p>\n

Reminds of Grewia serrulata<\/i>.<\/p>\n

…, the flowers look similar to your suggested id.<\/div>\n
The leaves are smaller in my pictures.
\nHope to get it validated.<\/span><\/div>\n

It does look like\u00a0Grewia carpinifolia\u00a0<\/i>Juss. (=<\/span>G. rhamnifolia\u00a0<\/i>Heyne ex Roxb.) suggested by … as per the link

It appears to be Grewia bracteata.\u00a0<\/i>
\nA straggler, leaf base obtuse-rotund (subcordate in G. rhamnifolia<\/i>)<\/span><\/div>\n
Flower characters are almost similar for both the species. So closer examination is needed.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
