Friends, This is Milletia peguensis or what we call the 'Burma honge' in Bangalore nurseries because it resembles our Honge tree (Pongamia pinnata). Its an avenue tree in Bangalore but not very common as they have been planted in different places here and there. I have seen them in Basaveshwaranagar, Rajajinagar etc. Fls are very bright magenta in colour but resemble '*Honge*' flowers and fruits contain 3 to 4 seeds and are very different from P.pinnata.
