Dear experts,

Could you help to identify this species?

It's a tall tree up to 20 m. very lear bole (at least in my observation).

Lowland Nepal, 100 m asl. Eastern Nepal. Picture Taken 20 March 2020.

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,

Lila

Thank you.

Dear sir

Thank you.

They are from different individuals. Locals confirm they are the same species and called as 'Surile'.

Sincerely,

Lila

Thanks Gopal sir!

I think the characters do not match with the species.

I hope we will nail it.

Sincerely,

Lila

Hi, Lila ji.

I think more closer to Lepisanthes senegalensis (Poir.) Leenh. rather than Lepisanthes rubiginosa (Roxb.) Leenh. as per comparative images at Lepisanthes

Yes, L. senegalensis. Extremely variable. Some authors consider both as synonyms.
