No, No... I did not mean to ID as *G. arborea*. Was comparing the leaves of the plant you posted ... they are not cordate, but their base has the shape of *G. arborea* leaves. Hope this clarification has not increased confusion.
T. nudiflora leaves are cordate ... the link to Forest Flora of Hyderabad State - by M Sharfuddin Khan does descrobe the leaf base as " ... from a cordate or rounded base ... " The tree flowers when it is almost leafless. Here are photos of what I believe as *T. nudiflora* (syn. of *Mallotus nudiflorus*) ... http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&w=91314...@n00&q=Mallotus+nudiflorus&m=text Hoping some comments to correct me or validate the ID further.
