Yes flower structure looks more like Sterculiaceae/Tiliaceae (Malvaceae) plant but, apparently the plant generally resembles Bridelia (Phyllanthaceae/Euphorbiaceae)
I agree with Dr. Felix. Please compare with Bridelia retusa (L.) A. Juss.
It could be Euphorbiaceae plant.
Common Name: Manipuri
Division :Angiosperm
Class: Dicotyledon
Family :Euphorbiaceae
Genus: Croton
Species: chlorocalyx Linn.
It's actually very close to Bridelia ferruginea (Phyllanthaceae/Euphorbiaceae)
hello, we found here so many plant with no name that I think If you want some help, the most important is to give the localisation of your observation.
If I refer to the name gived here some are afrcian plant, other are native from India, but we don't know were the observation was made, if the plant was cultivated, etc.
You can also post it on efloraofindia (Google group) or FB groups "Plant Wealth of India" or "Indian Flora" for identification.
No doubt it is Bridelia species of Euphorbiaceae and I think it is Bridelia retusa. Dr. Rashid may verify whether the main trunk has spines, which is characteristic of B. retusa.
Flower colour sli8ghtly confused me. It is pale here but slightly purplish in B. retusa.
