Only 2 sp. in Nepal http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=107975 !

According to the elevation I guess it matches with Cordia dichotoma Forster.

Please validate.

Thank you Paradesi ji

It might be Cordia grnadis Saroj ji, because seems tomentose or small hairy below,

Leaf margin toothed near the apex, surface rough but hairless.......C. dichotoma

Leaf margin entire, stellate tomentose beneath ..............................C. grandis

With regards.

There is about 2400ft. difference. Would it be possible?

Thank you.

[Paradesi Anjaneyulu]

Yes, it's possible Saroj Ji,

With regards.

Hi, Paradesi ji,

Where did you get the keys from ?

With these images, I would like to go for Cordia dichotoma only, as per images and details herein. 
Not much details on the net of Cordia grandis. Appears quite uncommon except specimens in GBIF.

I found the description of Cordia grandis from IBIS Flora from FBI:

Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 335 ; leaves large ovate 3-5-nerved scabrous above mature glabrous or scarcely villous beneath, corymbs large dense, flowers small pubescent or scarcely tomentose, berry at most 1/2 in. ellipsoid very obtuse. Wall. Cat. 892 ; DC. Prodr. ix. 481; Kurz For. Fl. ii. 208. C. cordifolia, Wall. Cat. 894.

Assam, Griffith, &c. Chittagong ; H. f. & T., &c. Pegu ; Kurz.—Distrib. Aya.

A large tree. Leaves 3-6 in., acute or obtuse, scabrid with very small rough points, base 3-5-nerved; petiole 1-2.1/2 in. Corymbs terminal, female many-flowered, male dense. Calyx at flower-time scarcely 1/6 in., tubular-campanulate. Corolla-lobes 4, 1/8-1/6 in. Stamens 4. Berry usually 1/3 by 1/5 in., 1-2-seeded ; fruiting-calyx scarcely 1/3 in wide. Leaves feather-nerved not (or obscurely) 3-nerved at the base.

Dear Garg JI,

That keys myself made from the description of the World trees book, to easily differentiate, still, I am feeling it's something different from dichotoma,

Even you're right that might be ecological differentiation, will conform with complete information,    

if possible get some more information, Saroj Ji,

With regards.
