Hi, Lalithamba ji. I think keys are based on the the fruit/ capsule. For *Pterosprmum suberifolium *(L.) Lam.*, *BSI Flora of India <http://efloraindia.nic.in/efloraindia/taxonList.action?id=3407&type=4> (1993) say *Capsules 4 - 6 x 2 - 2.5 cm ovoid-oblong or ovoid, terete tapering at both ends, 4 - 5-valved, creamy tomentose outside*, while An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India <http://books.google.co.in/books?id=umMFT6tKtrkC&pg=PA49&dq=Pterospermum+%2B+india&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jSfpUvr5FIWIrQeQ-YGACQ&ved=0CE8Q6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=Pterospermum%20%2B%20india&f=false> By K. M. Matthew (1995) says *ovoid, obtusely angled, whitesh.* For *Pterospermum xylocarpum *(Gaertn.) Santapau & Wagh, BSI Flora of India <http://efloraindia.nic.in/efloraindia/taxonList.action?id=3409&type=4> (1993) say *Capsules 5 - 7.5 x 2 - 3.6 cm, oblong to pyriform, narrowed at both ends, obtusely 5-angled, rusty stellate-tomentose*, while An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India <http://books.google.co.in/books?id=umMFT6tKtrkC&pg=PA49&dq=Pterospermum+%2B+india&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jSfpUvr5FIWIrQeQ-YGACQ&ved=0CE8Q6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=Pterospermum%20%2B%20india&f=false> By K. M. Matthew (1995) says *pyriform, acutely angled, rusty.*
I think based on this, we should take this post as *Pterospermum xylocarpum *(Gaertn.) Santapau & Wagh. On 7 January 2018 at 09:59, J.M.
