I am a little confued. Copper pod or Peltophorum is an entiirely different tree, whereas both Krishnachuda and Radhachuda are bushes, with difference in floweer colour only. This is based on cursory observation by me in the gaaardens, and when caesalppinia grows wild, as in several places. Next time when I seee caesalpinia in a gaaarden or growing naturally, I will obsserve more closely an will let you know. But I am not conviced that Radhachuda is peltophorum. I just checked Bose and Choudhury's book. Caesalpi
