Dear Ritesh Ji, Very surprising! Yet another name for this plant is *Abroma augustum* (L.) L. f. (http://www.tropicos.org/Name/30400001 and http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?101879) or *Ambroma augustum* (L.) L. f. ( http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=250076909), under Sterculiaceae.
