I D for Chennai tree: I retrieved the photographs from my archives. I took the photographs during June 2005, if I remember right.

I have not seen anywhere else in Chennai.

This is a small tree abutting the compound wall.

Could this be a species of Cordia. Leaves also look like Cissus.
Location : Sardar Patel Road, near Anna University.

-Cordia lutea, perhaps.
