Kumar ji, Yes, this is Mallotus tetracoccus based on Rottlera tetracocca Roxb. (1832). It is same as Mallotus ferrugineus, based on Rottlera ferruginea Roxb. (1832). The date of publication is same for both. However, Miquel (1860) was the first to unite the two species and he selected the name Rottlera ferruginea Roxb. for the combined species. Hence we have to honour his decision and call it Mallotus ferrugineus (Roxb.) Mull.Arg. instead of Mallotus tetracoccus (Roxb.) Kurz.
