It is *Pachira insignis* according to me and not Pseudobombax where the sepals are totally rolled out in the form of ribbons when the flower is in full bloom.The stamens of which are also uniformly coloured whereas here they are partially coloured. I think these Pachira trees were brought by Britishers and planted in all the major gardens in India including those in Kolkata Mumbai Bengaluru and Pune
