Could be one of Coffea?
This is no coffea.
How about Psychotria?
Psychotria dalzellii ??
To me looks different from images at Psychotria dalzellii
Psychotria henryana Murugan & Gopalan??

Found this publication on net about this species, but could not confirm with this

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240665536_Psychotria_henryana_Rubiaceae_a_new_species_from_the_southern_Western_Ghats_India

Also could not find any specimen on the net including GBIF.

Some possibility may be there
