had planted this as Lagerstroemia reginae or Taman in marathi.
Yes, Lagerstroemia only. Species to be determined.
Thank you … Here is the first pic I received.

What is the botanical and common name of this tree please? Is there another species with similar flowers in purple?
My guess is Lagerstroemia indica (Lythraceae)
Yes… Lagerstroemia indica. Incidently I saw the same colour in Lagerstroemia speciosa in our area, but of course that is a much taller plant with larger different leaves.
I am also with that.
Lagerstroemia indica is a shrub with alternate leaves.
this plant is Lagerstroemia thoreli Gagnepin….(pink flowers, can be observed in Fort area in Mumbai , and at Goregaon). the other with violet flower is Lagerstroemia reginae Roxb.,
please find the key to identify the species:-
1. Shrub; Six stamens much larger than the rest…….L. indica
1. Trees; Stamens sub equal……………………………..2
2. Flowers up to 0.7 cm across; Very large trees……L. parviflora
2. Flower more than 3 cm across; Small tree………..3
3. Bark peeling; Flowers purple………………………..L. reginae
3. Bark rough; Flowers pink…………………………….L. thoreli
Why is it that the general population in this country are better at naming plants than bird or mammal species? Is it to do with economics? I find it frustrating that people in my town, (Panchkula) cannot name more than 6 bird species in their own language and cannot differentiate between leopards and cheetahs!!!!
… my thought: to name a body or thing is to identify with, rather than without.
That is, we name for the sole reason of identifying the object which has gained importance to humankind in some way or the other.
Much of the importance lies in relation to human health by way of medicinal values the flora has to provide, closely following is economical importance of the plant (or any part of the plant).
This applies to fauna too … all those creatures whose relation to humans have some kind of importance are certainly named.
I feel names are present in all language, what is laking is our knowledge about it. I feel that it is our resposibility too to make the people aware about it by giving lectures, or writing articles, arranging naturewalks, going to scholl and talking with kids etc.
I too think Lagerstroemia with pink flowers is L. thorelii.
Yes, Lagerstroemia thorellii … oversaw the size of flowers … not L. indica.
Yes … distinctly ribbed calyx and much shorter petal claw (L. indica almost as long or longer than limb), and distinct petiole (L. indica not more than 1 mm). An important feature of L. thorelli is also flowers fading or mottled with white. Here we can see this only in one or two flowers.
As per Trees of Delhi (2005), Lagerstroemia thorellii is misaapplied in India for Lagerstroemia speciosa – from me. L. reginae Roxb. is also a syn. of Lagerstroemia speciosa
  |
Plant for ID: I bought this plant (2 photos of same plant of last yr and this yr) as Lagerstroemia speciosa (Taman) from local nursery in Mumbai.
Can you help identify this species plss…
This is Lagerstroemia thorelli – an exotic, a native of Brazil. Please check these links for my photographs and our previous discussion on this.
are you sure … ?
then thank you very much for your ID
great, I wish you well and hope you get tonnes of flowers
if you keep pruning it the shape will be like in that picture in the site of the andhra nursery.. or toptropicals
As per Trees of Delhi (2005), Lagerstroemia thorellii is misaapplied in India for Lagerstroemia speciosa

Flowers of Lagerstroemia indica: Posting flowers of Lagerstroemia indica L. Photographed on 24th July, 2011 in Besant Nagar, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Small to medium sized garden tree.
Had you given the size of flowers, it would have been easy to confirm the ID. They appear to be about 6 cm wide and would be L. reginae. The other sp. L. indica has flowers about 2 cm only, petals are clawed and they are in dense panicles.
it may be Lagerstroemia indica L pls give a complete twing photo clearly showing leaves and infloresence.
I think it is Lagerstroemia flos-reginae.
Agree with … These seem to be the flowers of L.speciosa. Sending my photographs L.speciosa flowers for comparison in a separate mail.
Looks like I was mistakenly placing too much emphasis on flower size and density of flowers on the flowering panicle. Superficially it looked quite different from L. speciosa I had photographed earlier in Adyar Theosophical Society Gardens. Thank you and others for correcting me. Am attaching the photograph which I had earlier identified as L. speciosa to this mail.

Tree ID- Is this Pride of India?: Date:01/04/2012. Location: Cox Town, Bangalore
Looks like Lagerstoemia speciosa to me. I imagine why they call it pride of India. This should an exotic plant.
Yes indeed it is- the local name is jarul I think. Just. 1 week after I took this photo, the purple flowers are blooming 🙂
Yes. Looks like Lagerstoemia speciosa ( syn. Lagerstroemia flos reginae, ) only. I am sending the photographs from Mysore city in a separate mail. The tree is in full bloom in various parts of this city.

Affirmative. This is Lagerstroemia speciosa [L. flos-regina] locally called Jarul / Taman. The other species that can be confused with this is L. thorelli – a native of Brazil.
   |
Is this Lagerstroemia speciosa: First time in life, I have tried to identify a tree and I think I have got
it right (with the help of flowersofindia.net). Is it Lagerstroemia speciosa? It was a medium-sized tree, purple flowers, blooming in summer.
Affirmative. This is Lagerstroemia speciosa [L.flos-regina] locally called Jarul / Taman. Its also called the Queen of Flowers / Pride of India and is the State Tree of Maharashtra.
… small correction: jarul / taman is the State Flower, amba (mango) is the State Tree of Maharashtra.

Lagerstroemia: can u guide me for the difference between Lagerstroemia tomentosa and Legerstreomia microcarpa. i am a bit confused as according to me the flowers in both the cases is white however i think there is a substantial differene in the bark. i am attaching photographs of both the plants one named Lag tom is surely (i suppose) Lagerstroemia tomentosa and the other, named Lag mic, with a different kind of bark but almost similar fruits is Lagerstroemia microcarpa ?

Flora picture of the year 2012 – Sandhya Sasidharan: A picture of a Lagerstroemia speciosa tree, nothing rare or spectacular but a tree close to my heart.
Wishing that in 2013 this Earth of ours will be a lot more greener, beautiful and peaceful. Let us all put in our best for this green pursuit.
Very beautiful and touching flora pic …
yes. when a much loved tree dies or is felled, it feels so sad… but like you said the sprouts are the new hope
Why nothing spectacular. It is spectacular. Aptly the flower of this tree has been selected as the State flower of Maharashtra.
Nice story associated with a beautiful tree. I have added this to Flora Picture 2012

Can you confirm if these are L.speciosa (Taman) or other spp ?
This looks like Jarul / Taman [L.speciosa] to me too. A close-up of the leaves would help.
        |
Habit : Tree
Yes, a beautiful tree to watch when in flowering. It is blooming nowadays here in Pantnagar.
        |
BangaloreJune 21st
Probably some species of Lagerstroemia?
Can it be narrowed down further without fully open flowers, sir?
The tree is Lagerstroemia speciosa itself.
.
Will be glad to know the name in Gujarati for Lagerstroemia speciosa.
three names are seen…
moto bhandaro: મોટો ભંડારો
jarul: જારૂલ
and ful bhondari: ફૂલ ભોંડારી
hope it helps
મોટો ભોંડારો [Moto Bhondaro], જારૂલ [Jarul], and તામન [Taman] have all been used in the absence of an original Gujarati name for L. speciosa. Being a cultivated import in Gujarat, these names have been adopted from the native names of this tree in other vernacular languages. The latter, when written as તામણ, is also a familiar synonym of ધામણ [Dhaman] – Grewia tiliifolia.
“The tree is indigenous to the Western Ghats from about Belgaum southwards through North and South Kanara to Malabar and Travancore, in evergreen forests, especially in the neighbourhood of rivers and streams. It is also found in Ceylon, Burma and eastwards to the Malay Peninsula, Australia and northwards to China.” – H. Santapau, Common Trees, 1966.
Thank you very much … for the names, and the excellent elaboration.
Especially about its use as ornamental / avenue tree almost all over country, it always made me wonder about range of distribution in India. Its flower is designated as State Flower of Maharashtra – the state government must have done this choice based on some good reasoning.
Thanks very much, … for your inputs too; they help.

Very beautiful as always..
In the book “Plant Resources of Western Ghats and Lowlands of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi District” (by BV Shetty, KM Kaveriappa & KG Bhat), there are two more names for this tree – “chella” and “nandi” – in addition to “hole daasavala”. Would these be the Tulu names of this tree? They are mentioned simply as “local names” in the book.
Thanks very much … for this feed.
I will re look (search) and revert if I get any lead on challa / chella with help from Kannad folks.
Thank you very much … for this response.
Will include the name for L. speciosa for Kannada.
• Tulu: ಚಳ್ಳ challa

Lagerstroemia ¿ species ?
Dear friends,
Here, the fruits are in huge clusters. The flowers resemble those of L. speciosa, however are smaller and are in large clusters, and normally are in mix of white and purple colours. Please help ID.
looks close to Putranjiva?
But the fruits in first pic and flowers in second pic are of Lagerstroemia. Both pics are of same tree.
Sorry, I meant to reply on your other Lagerstroemia post. By mistake replied on this one.
forgot to say the flowers are seen. lagerstomia
Both pictures are of Lagerstoemia speciosa,
I could not find any drooping inflorescence in Lagerstroemia speciosa as per images herein.
Thank you very much … I think the inflorescence starts drooping when fruits develop and mature.

Kind friends of this group
It is very surprising. L.flos reginae is a tree. How such a small plant can flower ? Is it a grafted one.
Yes sir, it looks as if its a grafted one; Once again the colour shade is so bright. Is that commonly observed?
Here I have not seen any grafted varieties. Only saplings raised from seeds are sold in the nursery. They take minimum of 2-4 years to flower.
