Thank you very much Vivek Ji 🙏 It is xantolis tomentosa.

Monkey like leaves. They were not giving any attention towards us and busy eating. Leaves must be tasty. ☺.

Special thing to note, monkeys were eating matured leaves. Wherever these trees are, monkeys did not chase us for food. 

Thank you again!

Sharmila
