I do not think that this is Myristica fatua Houtt. var. magnifica (Bedd.) Sinclair (your subject line says Myristica malabarica). And some I think this is neither of this . 

To me this looks like Knema attenuata of Myristicaceae family, an endemic tree of the Western Ghats. 

Myristica fatua Houtt. var. magnifica is restricted to the Fresh water swamps in the Southern Western Ghats. By the way, you haven't mentioned the place where you have seen this. 

Regards,

Giby

A reply from Sh. S G Neginhal  IFS(Retd) :

"UNCHALLI FALLS DOES NOT HAVE MARSHY PLACES. SO THE SPECIES MYRISTICA FATUA IS RULED OUT, BOTHNENVIRONMENTALLY AND MORPHOLOGICALLY.

 

FROM THE LEAVES AND FRUITS, THE SPECIES IS KNEMA ATTENUATA.
