I identified this same image posted in Facebook as a Cleistanthus (Phyllanthaceae) and likely to be C. patulus.

thank yopu sir.
Cleistanthus patulus leaves is orbicular- ovate and Fruit Slightly lobed;

I think Glochidion or other Euphorbiaceae family member.
Thank you.

Unfortunately the image is of low resolution and we can not observe the indumentum, if any.  However, if this is Phyllanthaceae then I can think of no genus other than Cleistanthus with such infructescence pattern and the typical fruits but the leave are broad and lacking typical cauda or acumen characteristic of the genus.  However, this could be C. pallidus as well, a Sri Lankan endemic.   If further high resolution images are uploaded and flowering specimens can be traced out then further observations can be made.

yes I agree with Tpos ji, it is not glochidion; the leaf is not clear, the leaf is not ovate orbicular in Cleistanthus patulus, orbicular in Cleistanthus collinus

I think it is Cleistanthus malabaricus or C. travancorensis.
Flowers are required. Also, was it a large tree with thick vegetation with pale grey or whitish bark? 
Please mention the altitude as well. These two species are rare.

Hi experts
 I attach here the photos of the same plant which can be zoomed. This will solve our identification process, I think. The plant is not a tree but a large shrub of about 2 metre with morphological similarity with Mallotus in habit. It is riparian in nature and the altitude of the location is about 30 feet

This may be a new species of Cleistanthus (not Glochidion). 

Thanks, Giby ji.
