Though close, I find the fruit to be a bit different as per images at Pterospermum acerifolium

Dear all,

I have found a resource Common Plants of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands by Joju Alappatt. This mentions the local name of Pterospermum acerifolium as Makchun.

i attach an image of the corresponding page from the book.

(im not sure if sharing such an image is acceptable on this forum, since i've not taken permission of the author.)

best regards
