... my thinking: the *beheda* flowers droop in huge clusters; while *Arjuna*stay erect, that is below and above leaves respectively. Also, while *beheda* is in bloom, the leaves are often red, almost crimson red to maroon ... warm coloured ... and *Arjuna* has green (I am not sure about how green !!). Please correct me.
And there must be differences in leaves and bark. I am not otherwise familair with Arjuna tree, I wonder whether I will mistake it for *T. elliptica*. Regards.
