Dear Tapas Sir, I cannot take any credit for guessing the generic identity of this species as I had also received the same image from the same source some time back, who had told me that you have tentatively identified this as Drypetes elliptica. I had not realised that it was you who had posted the image on the group to get an opinion from the larger community.
I however agree with you, I do not think it is Drypetes elliptica as the leaves dont quite match with the herbarium specimen at Kew. I hope that we get to the bottom of this someday, since it is likely to turn out to be a new record for India if not a new taxon.
