This tree with dark red tender leaves is very often seen in June-July. I have taken these photographs at Tamhini ghat and Raigad fort.

Can someone help me identify the tree?

Please check Hymenodictyon orixense of Rubiaceae family.

These are the recent photographs of Hymenodictyon orixense (taken yesterday), at Chandragad, near Poladpur...showing the emergent red leaves turning green.

Earlier photographs were taken a week back.

I think it may be Hymenodictyon obovatum as appears flat topped.
