Ajinkya ji Milletia pinnata and Pongamia pinnata refer to the same plant. They are synonyms. The differences you are mentioning are between Pongamia pinnata (syn: Millettia pinnata) with short thick pods and white flowers and Millettia peguensis Ali (syn: Millettia ovalifolia sensu Kurz pp) with purplish flowers and long flattened hairy pods.
The above plant is Pongamia pinnata (syn: Milletia pinnata). Some authors consider Millettia pinnata as accepted name. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
