This photograph is not great but if the tree species can be identified from its fruits I shall be obliged. This tree is on the road in Kaziranga, Assam. The bark is a  splotchy pale in colour.

Cheers,

It looks like a Terminalia sp. to me, more of T. citrina. Pl. check.

The fruits  look similar to T.chebula.   How can one differentiate the fruits.

The fruits of this species (T.citrina) look similar to T.chebula. How can one differentiate the fruits- from Mahadeswara ji.

Please look at the fruits:
Terminalia chebula = Fruits prominently 5-ribbed, often stipitate, never narrowing towards apex.
Terminalia citrina = Fruits faintly 5-ridged and grooved (not ribbed), mostly narrowing towards apex.
Please look at the fruits once again and decide yourself.
