Dear Experts
Please id this plant. Photographed near Keeriparai ( western ghats region ) of Kanyakumari dist. two days ago.The location is a rubber plantation, where this plant was growing along with several other shrubs of the genus Solanum. The rubber plantation looked as if it had been temporarily abandoned as there was no tapping and plenty of Eupatorium, grasses etc were seen growing. Some of these rubber trees( Havea brasiliensis) were in fact fruiting.this was a first for me, seeing rubber trees fruit.
Thank you
best wishes
geetha
