Sir, Found this *Lagerstroemia* sp. bloomimg with all its glory. I think it is * Lagerstroemia* *speciosa*, but these flowers are more violet (& less pink) than my earlier records in 2009. My questions are - 1) What are the differences between *L.* *speciosa* & *L.* *indica* ? 2) Is there any other species that looks like *L.* *speciosa* ? Species : *Lagersroemia* sp. Habit & Habitat : tree, about 20-25 ft., roadside plantation Date : 17-04-2012, 18-04-2012 Place : Krishnarampur (Hooghly), WB
