Saw this tree<\/span> in IIT Mumbai Campus.<\/span> Thought it was Lagestroemia<\/i> Sp.
\nCould somebody confirm? The flowers look slightly different to me.<\/p>\n

\n

The structure of the flowers looks the same as of <\/span>Lagerstroemia<\/i> sp. However, let experts opine.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I believe it is decidedly a <\/span>Lagerstroemia<\/span> species, perhaps <\/span>L. floribunda <\/span>or <\/span>L. loudonii<\/span>. The latter has tan tomentum on the foliage. It could also be some other local species; perhaps someone else knows.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It is the Crepe Myrtle Tree [Lagerstroemia indica<\/i>] a native of China.<\/p>\n

\n

I’m not certain if it is L. indica. <\/span>The two-tone flowers (faded ones lighter in color) are more typical of l. floribunda<\/span>. Also, the inflorescence shape does not look like L. indica<\/span> to me.
\nL. floribunda <\/span>(and L. loudonii)<\/span> are warm-subtropical to tropical species. They would not grow in areas receiving any frost. I’m not sure of the climate in the area in which the tree is growing, but if it receives frost, I would be more inclined to then go with L. indica.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I think it’s Lagerstromia floribunda<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

This is L. thoreli<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

It is Lagerstromia thorelii<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

As per <\/span>Trees of Delhi<\/span><\/a> (2005), <\/span>Lagerstroemia<\/i> thorellii<\/i>\u00a0is misaapplied in India for<\/span> Lagerstroemia speciosa<\/b><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I do not know what this species can be.<\/span><\/p>\n

May I request you to post the original images for species determination.<\/p>\n

Yes …, I believe you have it correct.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Yes it’s …<\/p>\n

\n

Pl. show us the habit image.
\nLagerstroemia floribunda<\/em>\u00a0Jack<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0is also possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am unable\u00a0 to get the photo from the sender of the photo. But he is not in a position to get the habit picture due to restrictions in the movement. Presently Mysore is under total lock down.<\/p>\n
