Hi Dinesh, It is definitely not Cassine glauca. Have at least 2 trees of C.glauca on my property. It could be Cassine paniculata. Regards, Neil.

This plant is at crosshair (18°58'43.56"N, 72°50'9.81"E ... not accurate !!) ... not sure whether this place is near to the hippopotamus cage. Per your confidence, this plant could be Cassine glauca; only wondering about the fruit being slightly oversized, also shape-wise -- does not seem to be as much pointed at ends, as seen in Neil ji's photos attached in this thread OR is that a result of plant being tended in garden environment ?

There are two trees in Veermata Jijabai Bhonsale Udyan (Rani Baug) Mumbai - One tree is at main gate fencing & other just outside Hippopotamus cage.

No to Cassine glauca ... the fruits are pointed ellipsoids. No to Manikara hexandra, familiar with the plant. Gymnosporia (montana) ... leaves look like it, fruits do not know ... a good possibility; friends to comment. Regards.
