Dear friends, those familiar with Casearia species ... please take a re-look at the photos to check for wrong identification. The leaf does not seem to match that of C. ovata (in which the leaf stalk, above has a characteristic groove towards the leaf base, and the margin has hint of being crenate / dentate) or that of C. graveolens (in which the leaf has crenulate margin).

Are there variations in the Casearia spp. ?


Put here are cropped versions of my posted photos for closer look ...


... the flower cluster, the flower about 3 mm across

Casearia ¿ ovata ?


... the fruits, about 10 mm across

Casearia ¿ ovata ?



Regards.
Dinesh

Correcting my notes at flickr.

I have based my thoughts on the basis of the conspicuous reddish-brown petiole and the midrib ... seen in the last photo of posted pictures.
The reddish brown petiole and midrib of the leaf could be the reasoning for the epithet - rubescens.
Regards.
Dinesh
