Dear Alok ji, As you have correctly identified, the 3rd picture is Pterospermum xylocarpum. You can find the differences in the bracteoles, leaves as well as fruits. In this species the fruits have 5 sharp ridges/angles and the tip is pointed. Whereas, in the fruits of P. acerifolium the ridges as well as the tip are blunt, in addition to various other differences.
