[Satish Phadke]

Synonym :Aphanamixis polystachya
I don't know which is the currently accepted name.
Importantly it is an evergreen tree so planted by roadside in cities.
Looks beautiful due to its dark green foliage.

Sathish Ji,

 

Aphanamixis polystachya (Wallich) Parker is the correct name for this taxon.
