Thanks friends for finally clearing my doubt. I had for last 7-8 months considered this to be T. tomentosa especially on the basis of broader fruits with much extended wings, longer leaves and longer inflorescence, but doubt came when I noticed smooth bark (which I deliberately held back so that other aspects are focussed by members). Yes both Terminalia-1 and Terminalia-2 have smooth bark. Now a million dollar question, for those who were able to identify Terminalia-2 also as T. cuneata (T. arjuna). I knew about both differences between T. cuneata (T.arjuna) and T. elliptica (T. tomentosa): in bark and nerves on fruit wings, but some books mention about longer leaves, longer infl, and much extended wings (1-1.5 cm in T. elliptica as against usually less than 5 mm in T. cuneata). My two uploaded plants (Terminalia-1 and Terminalia-2), did show these differences but did not have photographs of bark or wing nerves. How come some other members were able to identify both as T. cuneata. I would love to know that, so that I learn to differentiate the two species minus bark and wing nerves.
