Wow! what a rich colour! My quick guess would go to either Madhuca or a member of mango family!

Dear all,
it does looks like Mango tree to me.

Recently, one of my friend from Germany queried me about the red and orange coloration in young leaves found on tropical countries like Ecuador and India; he also stated that its difficult to observe in Temperate countries. I explained him in the angle of 'pollinator attraction'.

Dear experts, could any of you provide details over which why the coloration appears in particular season?

The orange coloration of Maples and Oaks are in Autumn in Temperate countries.

Hello,

The plant looks more like a mango sapling as the leaves are too narrow
to be those of Madhuca

Dear all,

New leaves of mango trees are mostly shades of dark purple/brown/pink.
Red new leaves that too as that of the picture may not be seen in
M.indica (at least I haven't come across yet).
Though the leaves looks like mango tree in the given picture the
venation doesn't agree that of Mangifera indica.

This could be Semicarpus anacardifolia.

Giby.

Hello all

in the first pic a large leaf can be seen which surely does not match
with Mangifera indica. I feel it can be Semecarpus anacardium as
pointed out by Giby. also note that the ground is showing of forest
fire....which leads to more robust growth of new suckers (which can
show such rich colour of leaves) (this burning phenomenon is commonly
applied to Diospyros melanoxylon so that more vigorous crop can be
achieved after forest fires .)

Regards
Satish Pardeshi

I took this picture many years back. The natives informed that it is Diospyros melanoxylon. Please see this link

Dear Mr. Pankaj Oudhia ji,
The picture of the leaves on the link referred by you is totally
different from the pictures of the leaves submitted in the original.
Regards
Yazdy.

Kindly also consider these to be young juvenile leaves of Eucalyptus. Some mature fallen leaves appear along side.

Dear Dr. Gurcharan Singh,
You may be right sir, however, my observation is that the texture of
the leaves in both the pictures are different.
I must admit that I may be wrong.
Regards
Yazdy.

Another possibility for Raghu ji's plants is Buchanania lanzan, looking at the older leaves.
