Thank you Ritesh for being persistent in bringing it up again. There seems to be some confusion in the names Sterculia hamiltonii and Sterculia coccinea - GRIN considers them synonyms of each other, but theplantlist considers the status of these names as unresolved. Nevertheless pictures of Sterculia coccinea flowers on the web agree with the flowers seen here: http://www.natureloveyou.sg/Sterculia%20coccinea/Main.html So, one has to give a more careful look. - Tabish
