Plant Id needed: Please help me identify this plant. Photographed at Osho Teerth Park, Pune. Dated-3rd July 2011

This is probably Sanchezia nobilis. Needs further confirmation.

Sanchezia are small trees or shrubs originating from central and south America.

Thanks … for d id. As soon as I googled Sanchezia nobilis, I knew that’s it.
