Trees Of Lalbagh, Bangalore – RA – Careya arborea – Wild Guava Tree: Wild Guava is a medium sized deciduous tree, up to 20 m tall, the leaves of which turn red in the cold season. It is the Kumbhi of Sanskrit writers, and appear to have been so named on account of the hollow on the top of the fruit giving it somewhat the appearance of a water-pot. Wild pigs are very fond of the bark, and that it is used by hunters to attract them. An astringent gum exudes from the fruit and stem, and the bark is made into coarse cordage. The Tamil name Puta-tanni-maram signifies â€water- bark-tree,†in allusion to the exudation trickling down the bark in dry weather.
Bark surface flaking in thin strips, fissured, dark grey; crown spreading.
Leaves arranged spirally, often clustered at the apices of twigs, simple, broadly obovate, tapering at base, margin toothed, stipules small, caducous. Flowers in an erect raceme at the end of branches. Flowers are large, white. Sepals are 4, petals 4, free. Stamens are many, connate at base; disk annular; ovary inferior, 4-5-locular with many ovules in 2 rows per cell, style 1. Fruit a large, many-seeded drupe, globose to depressed globose, crowned by the persistent sepals. Seedling with hypogeal germination; cotyledons absent (seed containing a swollen hypocotyl); shoot with scales at the first few nodes.

2. I think Bombacaeae member ?
…………………….
Perhaps Bombax ceiba.
This is Kumbhi [Careya arborea]. Some more of my photographs of this are available at this link :
P.S. – Plenty of my photographs of Bombax ceiba for comparison are available in the archives of this group.
Am sending my photographs of Simul [Bombax ceiba] for comparison in a separate mail. On point of fact it should be obvious that the flowers of Bombax insigne with their greater number of stamens more closely resembles those of Careya arborea than do Bombax ceiba.
Sending a few photographs of Bombax insigne for comparison in a separate mail.
this may be Careya arborea

19° 13′ 59.49” N 72° 52′ 38.10” E.
Tree
In wild
Fruit round
Local people called it Kumbaya कुंबया. But I am doubtful about it. Fruit of Lagerstroemia microcarpa (seen in pictures) is not round. Hence the query.

Thank you for confirming the tree as Careya arborea. In the field guide by Bole and Vaghani the picture of the fruit is little misleading
The fruit shown here is elongated and not round as I found in reality.
The slide of Careya arborea prepared by me is inserted for your information.
