This is not M. umbellatum<\/i> sir. Leaves should be distinctly petiolate but image no. 32 shows amplexicaule leaves.<\/div>\n

As per the key provided in JCB<\/font><\/a> it leads to Memecylon malabaricum<\/i> (C.B.Clarke) Cogn.<\/font><\/a> but please wait for confirmation from others.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
I checked the images of both M.umbellatum<\/i> and M.malabaricum<\/i>\u00a0in the Digital Flora of Karnataka with reference to the keys.The leaves in M.umbellatum<\/i> are little bit petiolate rather than sessile-sub sessile as in M.malabaricum<\/i>. Considering the sessile leaves and sub-sessile cluster of flowers in the uploaded specimen, it might be M.malabaricum<\/i> as you have pointed out.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
