Dear Neil ji
The key for Lagerstroemia L. given in BSI Flora Mah. says
1.Calyx ridges as many as sepals or reduced to warts or auricles:
2. Leaves distinctly petiolate; fruiting calyx tube 0.2 cm deep
... *L.microcarpa*
2. Leaves sessile or subsessile; fruiting calyx tube 0.6-0.9 cm
deep ... * L.parviflora*
(1. Calyx ridge twice the number of sepals ... *L.reginae*)
What is the opinion from Dr. Almeida? whether this key is not correct for
naming or something else. I am confused similar to Dinesh ji earlier
The pictures posted by you earlier for *L.microcarpa* clearly show petiolate
leaves while my pictures show sessile leaves.
Are other factors like simple/compound panicle of inflorescence and the
colour of the bark more important as in earlier discussion?
Does tip of the leaf play any role in differentiating?
Hoping to learn something.
Dr Phadke Satish
