It is clearly a member of Rutaceae and not Rubiaceae (where stamen number equals petals and filaments are not dilated). Citrus has stamens 4+ times the number of petals, whereas Atlantia has twice the number of petals. Here we can count 4 petals and 8 stamens in several flowers. Obviously Pravin ji and Shrikant ji are justified in identifying it as Atalantia racemosa.
