... am I correct if I say these are fruits.

 

And the plant is ¿ Euphorbia antiquorum, the square spurge ?

Please wait for others' comments.

Yes it seems to be the trilocular fruits of Euphorbia antiquorum

These can not be flowers of E. antiquorum as they are not trimerous but wth five petals; red with bifid visible style.  These can be fruits as suggested by others because the season also corresponds properly i.e. few weeks after observation of flowers in same territory (Western ghats)

Friends to validate his thoughts; to clarify whether these two species are confusingly close.

At FOI, E. nerifolia is illustrated at http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Indian%20Spurge%20Tree.html

Dear experts
I had sent this earlier and it was identified as Euphorbia. Is this the same as the one featured here for discussion?
