Dr. Singh-- I was able to find these two links of (allegedly) S. mollis, though they appear to be quite different from each other. I can't vouch for the ID of either specimen, however.

Latter has been reported from various places in Western Himalayas including Kashmir, and could be the likely candidate, but as the plant is cultivated in a garden with several European plants, former also has to be considered. I don't have access to the differences between the two species. The information is sought to reach conclusion. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

I will explore these and report back. Sophora japonica is a very popular tree in Kashmir grown in gardens and lawns and trained in the shape of an umbrella, and hence called locally as Chhatur kul (umbrella tree).
