Thanks Dr. Neil. So far I have not seen glands in T. bellirica, so, I would be happy to see them. Even though I could not see the glands clearly in the picture, I believe in your own observation. However, Cooke in his Flora of Bombay Presidency has mentioned that this species has no glands (I am sharing the scanned image of the particular page, may be in a separate mail). The dots on the leaf are not glands, I think.
