Dear Prashant, the tripod shaped stucuture, am assuming to be the fruit.
Comment(s) for clarification please.

Dear friends, the ID, why not: E. antiquorum ?

Regards.

Dinesh ji

E. antiquorum is closer to E. royleana in having distinctly winged stem, and three lobed fruit. The two are differentiated as under:

E. antiquorum: Stem 3(or 4) winged, wings thin and irregularly dentate, 1-2 cm wide.

E. royleana: Stem 5-5 angular, angles undulating and produced into wings

Prashant ji

these three-lobed star shaped structures are fruits.
