Fantastic...there is very little extant info, and perhaps no photos, on the web about this species.

Any idea what the seed/seed capsule looks like? The flowers are beautiful, and no question of pollinator I see(!)

I see that both Eriolaena and Pterospermum have been moved into Pentapetaceae from Sterculiaceae in some listings.

Thanks for the information Barry
This was the first timer for me...so no idea about seeds and other things...It first appeared to me of tiliaceae family as it looks very much like some Grewia species.
None the less it was a beauty to watch the blooming tree by the roadside on the hills.
