Thanks Shrikant ji, but C. macrocarpa is a much different plant. It has been discussed in detail in these two threads from Morni and USA.

Must be Acokanthera oppositifolia (Lam.) Codd only as per discussions in another thread.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Garg ji they are two different plants

This one from Delhi University Flower Show clicked in 2013 with glossy leaves is A. oblongifolia

The other one with glaucous longer leaves photographed from Garden Festival in 2015 is A. oppositifolia

Aromatic shrub for ID from Delhi-GSFEB03/44 (google.com)

[J.M. Garg]

To me both appear to be from the same species, on observing close up posted images of the both.
