Thank you very much Surajit. Since you have asked about Bridelia stipularis, let me clarify one point here. B. stipularis is predominantly a markedly pubescent climber ( a few collectors noted it to be a small tree) with large female calyx and larger fruits on the average. There was a doubt raised recently on another post having fruiting materials of B. retusa but with large female calyx. Now, the present photographs are of dried specimens while your earlier post contained photos of fresh material. They will obviously differ in measurements. Whatever measurements we see in literature are based on dried materials, in case of flowers, soaked in water and therefore these measurements are bound to be less that what we actually see and measure in field. Your photographs do not show any climbing habit and villous parts and so we can rule out B. stipularis. If you do not mind, I would rather like to assign the name Bridelia verrucosa Haines which seems to be more probable. Distribution is as follows: India: Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh; Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan. Regards, TC.
