Dear Dinesh, I was not able to verify the ID of http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Saptrangi.html properly. This book describes the flowers of Casearia esculenta as yellowish and those of Casearia graveolens as pale green. Now the flowers in the FOI link do look pale green to me. Me still confused. Maybe it is the confusion of synonyms... - Tabish
