Hello Garg ji, About the differences, here are some bits I collected and summed up:
*Thespesia populnea* and *Thespesia populneoides* are similar in that they are both trees or shrubs with showy flowers, but they have some differences in their leaves, fruits, and seeds: *Leaves*: *Thespesia populnea* has heart-shaped leaves that are shiny and alternate, while *Thespesia populneoides* has spirally arranged leaves that are light green and triangular heart-shaped. *Fruits*: *Thespesia populnea* has mature fruits that are easily broken, while *Thespesia populneoides* has mature fruits that are not broken (outer fruit splitting into 5 segments, exposing indehiscent inner fruit) ... *Thespesia populneoides* fruit pedicels are normally long and often hanging. *Seeds*: *Thespesia populnea* has broadly ovate seeds, while *Thespesia populneoides* has narrowly ovate seeds. *Reference*: Fosberg, F. Raymond; Sachet, Marie-He´le`ne (1972) - *Thespesia populnea <https://archive.org/details/thespesiapopulne71972fosb>* (L.) Solander ex Corrêa and *Thespesia populneoides* (Roxburgh) Kosteletsky (Malvaceae) <https://archive.org/details/thespesiapopulne71972fosb> I find Viplav ji's post Dehiscent fruits in the Thespesia populations of Mumbai - VG-JUL-10 <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/1Ia87nvMMpE/m/aJb54uRcMpcJ> has touched on this subject long ago ... where he puts his thought: "a large number of the *Thespesia* strands in Mumbai appear to intergrade between *T. populnea* and *T. populneoides*." and ends his post seeking comments and observations.
