Gurucharansigh ji,
Thanks for the ID validation. Shall we take the correct name
as : .S. lanceifolium or S. albidum with S.macranthus as synonym?
Please suggest the valid citation, which can be followed by all.
Furthermore, the tree is in full bloom in Mysore also. This is the
flush season. The tree is always with flowers. There are many trees
nearby my home. I have uploaded the photographs long time back.
Regards,
M.Swamy.
