The tree was seen in Mumbai, in a garden in Anushaktinagar-

Date taken : Mar 22, 2015

Some nuts?

Fruits collected from underground of the tree. Are both fruits are the same?

Please help.

Dalia:

brown seed was much larger than its current size when it was green = logical.

so speaks of greater disparity in size of the two = obvious.

second the smaller seed could be from the same tree ... fruits of same tree can be of different size, dropping off means some violence, high winds storm rain storm or birds or animals dropped it, so it remains small...????

i  can only suggest  cut/saw it neatly in half and see if the inside structure is the same

if only one seeds inside, only Clusiaceae with one seeded fruit is calophyllum

==

i wish you had picked a leaf and photographed that... strong primary vein and almost parallel secondary veins with inconspicuous tertiary veins = calophyllum

=======

or let it dry and see if it begins to look the same as the brown on...

Secondly what other trees were there that could produce roundish green fruits?
==

if you are back in kolkata,

salt lake central park has many calophyllum inophyllum trees to the left of the main walkway  keeping the lake to the right

you could check out resemblance to your tree there  and the fallen seeds early in the morning will be still there before the sweepers  haul them away..

seeds are  good source of oil (very dense) for oil lamps

that's the ethnobotanic use for the seeds, used to be very popular, but with ration shop kerosene available just by standing in line,  seems to be fallen off the radar for manufacture in the villages along the ganges delta..

Thank you all, for quick response.

Ushadi, I am in Kolkata now. I will try to visit central park as you suggested.

The fruit had one seed inside, I have checked in Mumbai.
