This tree was seen by me in 2007 at the garden and again a couple of days ago.
Name was given as Anjan by the Horticulturist …
Leaves resembled that of Bauhinia, but were much smaller.
Is this Hardwickia binata, also known as Anjan?
Negative. This is Apta [Bauhinia racemosa]. Please check these links : Google Groups
Thanks … The name suggests Bauhinia racemosa only, but leaves were smaller in size.
I am familiar with B. racemosa.
