Sorry it was sent halfway accidentally
Past few days I was searching for correct identification of this tree.
The following key will satisfy all.
STEROSPERMUM
1. Panicle branches viscid hairy..................................S.
chelenoides
1. Panicle branches glabrous(smooth) :
2. Leaflets caudate at apex; corolla wooly at base ........ S.colais
var.colais
2. Leaflets acuminate at apex; corolla not wooly at base....S.colais
var.angustifolium
In addition I think the flowers of S. chelenoides are purple.
After re looking at some of the pictures and observing further morphology
the plant posted by me appears to be Sterospermum colais var.
angustifolium(syn. S. personatum)
Attaching further pictures in support showing wooly base of corolla and the
apex of leaflets(Compound leaf with 7 leaflets)*caudate *in most of the
leaflets rather than acuminate.
To know what is meant by caudate click the following link.
