Without flowers I’m wondering if this is in the dog bane family (Apocynaceae). The mature seeds would help to narrow down more. When it flower and you still don’t know, please resubmit with photo of flower For now check some genera in the family with similar looking fruits. The first included link is for Hollarrhena pubescens. Best wishes!
