I think it may be Baliospermum calycinum rather than Baliospermum solanifolium, as per details herein and as per comparative images at Baliospermum‎

B. solanifolium only. 

[J.M. Garg]

But inflorescence is different as per keys in Flora of China and FoC Illustration  FoC Illustration 2

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Tapas ji,

Keys from Flora of India Vol. 23:

1 a. Plants dioecious; upper leaves not appreciably smaller than leaves of lower nodes; inflorescences leafless; male disc glands distinct; ovary glabrous or sparsely pubescent; fruits depressed, not intruded at apex, 5 - 8 x 9 - 10 mm 1. B. calycinum
b. Plants mostly monoecious; upper leaves often appreciably smaller than leaves at lower nodes; inflorescences leafy; male disc glands connate into a cup; ovary tomentellous; fruits often turbinate-obovoid, intruded at apex, 8 - 10 x 11 - 13 mm 2. B. solanifolium

After pursuing the illustrations in Flora of India, I feel it is Baliospermum calycinum 

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Thank you all.
