Thanks Garg Ji.

The fruit looks closer, but leaves are a bit different.

Unfortunately, there were no visible flowers, if there were, that would have made it a bit easy for us.

Regards,

Aarti

[J.M. Garg]

Leaves are variable. Pl. see GBIF specimens- e.g. specimen 1

Diplocyclos palmatus should be considered, white broken patches are characteristic, leaves can sometimes be less deeply divided.
