Balkar ji There are a few things I find difficult yo ignore. 1. Ehretia laevis is one of the few very early flowering trees in Delhi, starting its flowering towards end of February and flowering season ends around 10th of March. Even fruits are fully mature in June You have photographs well flowering plant 18 June.
2. I have checked my photographs from Delhi, the corolla is clearly with acute tips. Yours has corolla lobes with rounded tips. 3. The leaves of E. laevis are acute to acuminate. Yours new photograph shows obtuse leaves. 4. E. laevis is a tree. You say it is perhaps a shrub. All these suggest your plant to be E. obtusifolia. You may please check. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
