Dear Garg Ji Pradeep Krishen has explained this aspect very well in his book Trees of Delhi. I shall attempt to encapsulate some of the important ones. Moderate sized tree with floppy branches and downy leaves. Flowers are white or very pale pink, 40-50mm wide. Fruit cup is saucer shaped and the fruit is ovoid. Thin brown peeling bark has vertical fissures. Regards Mohina
