Hi,

In Microcos paniculata [Grewia nervosa / Grewia microcos] the venation is much more prominent. Therefore feel that this could be G. serrulata.

With regards,

Neil Soares.

You may be correct Neil, thats what I thought too at first look,but in G. serrulata the petals are more elliptic and cluster of stamens is more. I have

seen G.microcos at Sawantwadi. Attaching pictures of G. microcos flower (not too clear) and fruits for comparison.

regards,

Rashida.
