This was shown by … in Lalbagh.
Couldn’t locate open flowers, only buds seen. As capsule is not covered with covered with brown tubercles, it is not going to be P. diversifolium as per keys at http://efloraindia.nic.in/efloraindia/taxonList.action?id=3390&type=3

Sharing few photographs of Pterospermum xylocarpum To me flowers look similar to images at Pterospermum suberifolium rather than those at Pterospermum xylocarpum yes, to me it appears Pterospermum suberifolium, based on flower and leaf
Small evergreen tree, leaves about 10 cm, white tomentose beneath, obliquely rounded at base. Flowers solitary, axillary on stout peduncle; bracts 3, entire. Flowers 3-5 cm, fragrant; calyx tomentose. Native to Karnataka, planted else where.
Flowering at my house in Pune. To me flowers look similar to images at Pterospermum suberifolium rather than those at Pterospermum xylocarpum yes I agree with you; Pterospermum suberifolium
Yes. Pterospermum suberifolium (L.) Willd. is the current accepted name. BSI flora shows P xylocarpum (Gaertn.) Sant. & Wagh as syn while The Plant List shows as unresovled. The plants do not differ. Thanks, … But BSI Flora does not show any such synonym. Pl. see http://efloraindia.nic.in/efloraindia/taxonList.action?id=3407&type=4 If these are independent sp., then what is the key to differentiate? BSI Flora of Maharashtra does give.

Requested to validate the ID. efi page on Pterospermum xylocarpum
I somehow feel these are closer to images at Pterospermum suberifolium (syn. Pterospemum canescens Roxb.), rather than those at Pterospermum xylocarpum I am sorry, I can’t decide
Found in Puthupattu near Pondicherry.
the shrub is about 5 ft tall.
Photographed in Mawsynram, Meghalaya. September 2018. only fruiting seen. May be a Pterospermum sp
i was thinking in the same vein, but i dont see any hairs or fuzz on the leaves. may be its just the way pictures were taken. though there is different colored epidermis on either side of the leaf blade. though there is fuzz on the fruit/capsule. that i surmised to be five or sic segmented, cant tell.
So, …
Sure … The fruit felt dry and hard, pentamerous. The remnants of the flower were still hanging on. Leaves glabrous above, greyish brown below.. Did not cut through the fruit…so do not know how it was inside.. The above info may not be of much help.. thank you for the recall. yes does not take me nearer to dx You can also see comparative images at
Pl. check for Pterospermum suberifolium (L.) Lam. as per images and details herein.
To me appears close.

Seems to be Pterospermum acerifolium. Pterospermum suberifolium Lam. It doesn’t look like Pterospermum acerifolium. Looks like Pterospermum xylocarpum?The flowers look very much like P. xylocaprum flowers. Pl. see the following for differences & keys:
An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India By K. M. Matthew (1995)- Details with Keys–
Pterospermum xylocarpum (syn. Pterospermum heyneanum WALL. EX. WIGHT & ARN.)
Trees of Delhi: A Field Guide By Pradip Krishen (2004)-
There is also one Pterospermum suberifolium (L.) Willd. Thank you all, it seems to be Pterospermum xylocarpum. Pictures 2859 to 2872 the set with smaller flowers; smooth ovate podded tree is perfect Pterospermum suberifolium (As per Mathew’s Flora of TN and Carnatac, and BSI I think keys are based on the the fruit/ capsule.
For Pterosprmum suberifolium (L.) Lam., BSI Flora of India (1993) say Capsules 4 – 6 x 2 – 2.5 cm ovoid-oblong or ovoid, terete tapering at both ends, 4 – 5-valved, creamy tomentose outside, while An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India By K. M. Matthew (1995) says ovoid, obtusely angled, whitesh.
For Pterospermum xylocarpum (Gaertn.) Santapau & Wagh, BSI Flora of India (1993) say Capsules 5 – 7.5 x 2 – 3.6 cm, oblong to pyriform, narrowed at both ends, obtusely 5-angled, rusty stellate-tomentose, while An Excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India By K. M. Matthew (1995) says pyriform, acutely angled, rusty.
I think based on this, we should take this post as Pterospermum xylocarpum (Gaertn.) Santapau & Wagh. The measurements are not here; the capsule is not angled it is not rusty tomentose; the leaf also not matches with P.xylocarpum; the bracts, bracteoles, stipules also have to be considered. A multipronged approach is needed for identification. Hence I can’t agree with your id; I strongly believe it is not Pterospermum xylocarpum Thanks, … I take it as stated by you. What would you say about the following posts (also from Banglore):

Found these images of Pterospermum xylocarpum. Don’t remember the location but western ghats either Phansad or Karnala. Hope you’re right sir, May be useful for inserting in the respective page I think Pterospermum suberifolium (L.) Lam. as per comparative images at Pterospermum
