Hi Prof. Singh,
Just spoke to Dr. Almeida. Though Lagerstroemia hirsuta [syn. Adambea
hirsuta / syn. Solularia malabarica / syn. L. rottleri] is included in his
'Flora of Maharashtra', it was only on a single, isolated possibly dubious
report. Dr.Almeida has never ever seen this species, and, in fact went so far
as to say that he even doubts its very existence.
Regards,
Neil Soares.

Neil ji
It would be useful if you send photograph of L. reginae/L.hirsuta, if you have
it in your farm.

Let the expert study the character
Lagerstroemia reginae is now correctly known as L. hirsuta (according to GRIN

The leaves are oblong in L. hirsuta and elliptic-oblong and more pointed in L.
speciosa. Also the veins are more prominent in latter.
To me it looks like L. hirsuta
