Many thanks, Aarti ji, Dr Neil, and Dr Tapas, for sharing your observations in this and in the other thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/CKzb9DwAdRE> as well.
Over the last year, I have come across a few mature individuals of this plant (cultivated) both in North & in South Mumbai. These were also present when the Rani Bagh survey was conducted by Dr Almeida & his team in 2010. It is uncommon in Mumbai but the specimen in Rani Bagh has certainly not been the only one in the city after all. Will share my photographs of this tree in a separate thread.
