Thank you Suneel ji.

Ah, thank you Mahadeswara ji!

The naturalist at the poonga did mention Kiluvai on seeing the leaf photo -- I missed that while posting.

https://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/South-Indian%20Commiphora.html gives Kiluvai as the Tamil name for C. caudata.

https://www.jstor.org/stable/4110543 states "leaflets acute, terminal one (sub)sessile" for var. pubescens.  (As opposed to "leaflets long-acuminate, terminal one petiolate" for var. caudata).

So perhaps the tree is C. caudata var. pubescens.

Thank you!

Thanks for confirming my suggested ID. 

 Commiphora caudata .   We call it Kondamavu in Kannada. It is called 'Konda maavu' because the crushed leaves smell like raw mango (maavu means mango).  Check at your end.

[Mahadeswara]

Thanks Arvind ji.

One more info.:   The tree is used as a support for the jasmine plants in Karnataka. 

[Arvindh T]

Thank you, Mahadeswara ji.

For beginners like me, such information/associations are useful in remembering the tree.
