*Crataeva nurvala* [*C.religosa*] is an African species that is not [naturally] found in India. The common species of Sacred Barna [locally called *Vaivarun*] found in and around Bombay [including the one photographed by ... at Kanheri] is *C.tapia*. It is a small tree with a much-branched head and greenish-white flowers. The other species of *Crataeva* found in Maharashtra is* C.adansonii* [* C.tapia* ssp. *odora*] which is common around Savantwadi and is seen mainly on riverbeds and ocassionally on hilly slopes. It is a larger tree [upto 10mts tall] with a dense crown and white flowers. On 20 September 2013 11:00, J.M.
