Some earlier relevant feedback:
“Holoptlia integrifolia has one seeded fruit. the fruit is resembling Berrya cordifoia (the wings) and tat of Kleinhoevia hospita.” from Pardeshi ji.
“Kleinhovia can be ruled out because Kleinhovia leaves are cordate and very different from the one in the pictures, even the fruit is five winged.” from Rashida ji.
“The tree looks like Berrya cordifolia. The foliage is not clear. Hence I cannot confirm. You may please visit Gandhinagar 3rd Main Road almost near the Padmanabha temple. There is a row of B.cordifolia trees ( 8 to 10) . Take photographs and compare them with those of TS. You will get the answer.” from Mahadeswara ji.

"I think Pterocarpus marsupium Roxburgh
Pudji Widodo"
" I can only say that I am familiar with both Holoptelea integrifolia and Berrya cordifolia (at Thiru-Vi-Ka Park , Shenoynagar and and VAANAVIL , Mount Road ) and this is not those species. The seed - pod looks like Berrya's but is much rougher. It is definitely not Kleinhovia either as I have some of its seeds in pods. I am not able to check out the seeds of Pterocarpus marsupium." from Padmini ji.
"Thanks for the suggestions. I am attaching my pics of the three kinds of seeds. I feel the search is not yet over.
Rgds,
Padmini"
"Padmini ji you are correct in ruling out Berry, I checked the leaves also are quite different and the fruit is six winged of Berry. I thought of Marsupium too, but the fruits of Marsupium do not have a wegde at the top or clear samara wings as in Holoptelea. You may check the pictures of Dr. Geeta Samant in the database where very clear fruits are seen of Marsupium. Also please check when you see the tree again whether the leaves have an odd one at the end of the leaflets that is typical of Marsupium and the leaflets would be more egg shaped unlike Holoptelea.
regards,
Rashida. "
"On seeing the latest photographs I have a doubt that this could be one of the Terminalia species." Mahadeswara ji.
