Request ID of a Tree

[Kanhaiya Lal Chaudhary]

Dear Members,

A tall tree (ht >20m) photographed in somewhat tropical area of Meghalaya (about 600 msl). Tree with irregular-looking fruits. Branched very far up, unreachable, therefore no close-ups obtained.

 Thanks.

Thanks Gargji. 

The fruits look like a lomentum, but the stalk is in the middle, giving the fruits a somewhat irregular Y-shaped appearance.

Regards

Respected Sir,

                I think it will be Grewia sp. (Tiliaceae).

It is not of Grewia, which is for sure.

I am no expert though it appears to me like some Homalanthus sp.

Kindly check with some expert on Euphorbeaceae.

Thank you.

As per this, none of the species mentioned in the link is reported from India. 
Homalanthus populneus is mentioned in some references, but looks different as per GBIF. 

Can it be some species of Excoecaria ?

Ji,

It is not,

After your previous email, I had some checks and from the opinions I gathered, I could find the images looks close enough to be either Hovenia dulcis or H. acerba. of Rhamnaceae.

Attaching the link from POWO by Kew here.

http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:717557-1

Kindly check both, and I must tell, it can be a different species from the genus Hovenia too.

I am no expert.

Kindly let me know too if any expert agrees to my thoughts on this. 

Sincerely,

Kishor

Dear Sir,

A lively discussion on the tree. I have determined it to be Hovenia acerba, that is reported in Meghalaya.

Warm regards
