Trees of Delhi states Crataeva *nurvala*, *Crataeva religiosa* & *Crataevamagna * to be an invalid Syn. of *Crateva adansonii* (i.e. not valid synonyms, but are commonly used (incorrectly)). *Crataeva nurvala* [*C.religosa*] is an African species that is not [naturally] found in India.

Watching since 2007, they have remained seemingly with a stunted growth not rising beyond 2 - 3 metres, with chaotic branching. They must have been planted by village folks - because there is a very small temple nearby, dedicated to Lord Naga which gets thronged by entire village during Naga Panchami. I had seen its fruits very long back, regret to have not taken photos then. They were ovoid, not globose for sure. Please ignore the photos having been labelled as *Crateva religiosa*. Keen to know the ID.
