Dear Neil Sir & Pankaj Sir, Good evening...
I am now convinced that the plant/tree is *T. bellirica* as have been identified by you. Initially i was hesitant because - 1) because of the description of 2.15 cm long leaf-stalk as in - http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Baheda.html 2) in my images all leaves originate from the apex of the shoot, whereas your imges at - http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20p?see=I_PAO1999&res=640and at - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/Terminalia$20Neil$20Soares/indiantreepix/3xFtSa7jWFo/rq4suJX2k-IJ show alternate leaves. Most other images available in the net also tally with both of you. However, after more search found my target at - http://ayurvedaelements.com/resources/spice/Terminalia%20belerica.png?timestamp=1266630963601. Moreover, wiki says, "Two varieties of *T. belerica* are found in India..." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminalia_bellirica. Thank you very much for giving me your valuable time and identifying this tree. I cannot express my gratitude in terms of words only.
