Thanks for your observations and opinion which is indeed helpful to everybody. The Beheda trees whatever I have seen were very big and had Buttress roots making its stem quite wide which is supposed to be common for it. The fruit is also not similar to Arjuna but flowers are very much similar. I am much more familiar with T. arjuna The characteristic features are the bark which is faint coloured and often variegated somewhat similar to Guava tree. And of course if there are seeds of earlier season on the tree(Which is common) they are typical Combrataceae with wings.
