Garg ji, perhaps Grewia tiliifolia; I am not sure.

Regards.

I think another set of images as attached may also be from the same species.

My guess remains the same - Grewia tiliifolia; but not sure.

Gargi ji, the petioles here seem longer and the leaves are more cordate.

Have you considered Eriolaena sp.?

Yes, you may be right.

What are the species reported from Matheran area?
I am unable to decide based on images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/28/eriolaena/

On searching, I think Eriolaena quinquocularais is reported from the area.

I'm not able to get to species level. Eriolaena is quite tricky anyhow.
