Is this not Macaranga pustulata?

Good question Garg ji.

Here in case of Macaranga pustulata, there are conspicuous glandular patches/pads on the lobes of ovary and fruits which are lacking in M. denticulata.

Please look here: glandular patches in M. pustulata. Moreover, there will be black dots on leaf lamina near the junction of petiole.

So you mean to say that it is M. pustulata as there are black dots on leaf lamina near the junction of petiole.

Is it?

Fruit character is distinctive between the two species.

Thanks, Tapas ji,
But we can not see the fruit character here.

So what do you finally consider it to be ?
