To m<\/span>e last two images look different from others.<\/p>\n

It is Pterospermum xylocarpum<\/i><\/p>\n

Doubtful ID.<\/p>\n

I will go with …, after topsy turvy of seeing all the images of these species along with confusing and over lapping keys in different floras and getting them corrected with the help of …<\/p>\n

Pterospermum<\/i> reticulatum <\/i>?????<\/p>\n

\n& Ditribution & little details at: Book link<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

& as discussed in one of the Indiantreepix thread<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
Here is the illustration of Pterospermum reticulatum<\/i>, whose leaves also look similar at (but stated to be threatened & endemic to Western Ghats):

\n& only a little desc. at http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pterospermum_reticulatum<\/span><\/a>
\nAny other pictures & size of flowers should certainly nail down the Id. Was it a planted one or wild?<\/div>\n

Pterospermum <\/i>sp <\/i>of Malvaceae<\/i> (Earlier Sterculiaceae<\/i>) family. Most probably P. divesifolium <\/i><\/p>\n

\n

The first picture may be <\/span>P. canescens<\/i>, not sure though.
\n<\/span>The second picture looks like <\/span>P. xylocarpum<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yes it look like P.xylocarpum<\/i><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Could it be P.suberifolium<\/i>, if its not a syn.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

I agree with … First image may be of <\/span>Pterospermum suberifolium<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0(syn. Pterospemum canescens<\/i> Roxb.),<\/span> while the 2nd one may be of Pterospermum xylocarpum<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

To it looks like Pterospermum reticulatum<\/i>, rather P.suberifolium<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

You mean the 1st image?<\/p>\n

\n

all 3 are of same; but the age of the pod differs<\/p>\n

\n
But to me looks different from images at Pterospermum reticulatum<\/i> Wight & Arn.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(which is in Vunerable List)<\/div>\n
Rather I find these more closer to images at Pterospermum xylocarpum<\/i>\u00a0(Gaertn.) Santapau & Wagh<\/span><\/a>
\nYou are requested to have a relook pl. as also\u00a0… post is of a garden plant.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n
Attached are pictures of Pterospermum suberifolium<\/i> captured at Hiranandani Powai<\/span>, Mumbai in January 2013.
\n<\/span>Requested to validate the ID.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

There are two<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. Pterospermum suberifolium<\/b>\u00a0(L.) Lam.<\/span><\/a> (syn: Pterospennum canescens<\/i> Roxb.)<\/div>\n
2. Pterospermum xylocarpum<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>(syn. Pterospermum suberifolium<\/i> Willd.)
\nWhich out of the two are you talking about ?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
The 3rd picture shows buds (also a flower) and perhaps bracteoles.<\/div>\n
Are “bracteoles” of BSI<\/span><\/a>\u00a0same as “bracts”( in KEY 4a, 4b, 8a…) of BSI?<\/div>\n
I assume what I see in the 3rd pic are bracteoles under the buds. Since these bracteoles are not linear it is not P. suberifolium<\/i>\u00a0(L.) Lam.<\/div>\n
In the 5th pic capsule\/fruit looks like having obtuse angle whereas in the 4th and 6th pics it is not clear to me if those capsules are terete or not.<\/div>\n
Moreover, I fail to decide if leaves have oblique or symmetrical base.
\nI am unable to suggest any probability.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks very much for your analysis.<\/div>\n
This garden has 2 trees, both of which are P. suberifolium<\/i> (I was told). The pics are clicked on 2 different occasions, pics 2, 3, 4 and 7 are clicked in January 2015 and pics 1, 5 and 6 in January 2015. I remember that one of the trees was fruiting profusely in January 2015.<\/div>\n
…, I honestly do not know which P. suberifolium<\/i> this might be as I was given these names by the experts.
\nHopefully, this ID gets resolved.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

As per <\/span>efi thread<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. <\/i>P. acerifolium<\/b> has 25 cm long peltate leaves and 15 cm long flowers.
\n<\/span>2. P. canescens<\/i> (syn. of Pterospermum suberifolium<\/b>\u00a0(L.) Lam.) has 10 cm long rounded leaves with cream coloured tomentum beneath and 5 cm long flowers,
\n3. P. xylocarpum<\/b> has 20 cm long cordate leaves and 5 cm long flowers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Please provide approx. leaf and flower size so that we could arrive at a probable ID.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
