Indian Pigeon Tree/Charcoal Tree/Gasagase hannu

Trema orientalis

Description:

It is one of the common plants seen along with the footpaths of Bengalore. Many small birds and kids like the tree for its small red fruits. Have uploaded the pics of the fruit, flower and tree as well to identify the spotting. It is called with different names in local languages like "Gasagase hannu". Hope the pics help to identify the binomial name for this plant. Resembles http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/sl...

This is Muntingia calabura or aratiles, as we call it in the Philippines.
