Yes Satish ji, I agree with you with regards to the finer differences in the two flora. That is why I feel the final ID should be as per Kew database or GRIN and IPNI in that order, other wise there is so much of contradictory data floating around.
As I mentioned in my earlier mail I think your pics too are of C. leschenaultii DC. The erect lemon bright yellow flowers being the main characteristic leading to C.leschenaultii DC. I cannot see the tips of leaves as clearly as in Aarti ji pics where the tips of the leaves are also seen particularly in her second pic. regards, Rashida.

Regarding several plants there are some fine (?) differences between the two widely used floras namely Almeida and BSI Mah. Thanks for the typed description from Almeida's flora. He has describes the species very elaborately. My species also appears to be C. leschenaultii DC after reading your mail. Similar is the case with Lagerstroemia microcarpa and parviflora. I have yet to decide between the two as both these floras have diff.descriptions.

I cant understand it... Do you have the reason for it? Kindly provide it so that the matter is bit clear to me. We both are right in our point of view but our refersence try to nullify each others thoughts.
