Oh, ok, thanks, Aarti ji.
But those fruits are certainly not of Putranjiva, I am sure.

its not putranjiva

its a prolifically pollinated flowered inflorescence
hence this cascading fruit bunch.
its lagerstomia

so to see the lagerstomia flower pollinated i one would need to go to virajpet, coorg

nice to remember

Ushadi

I think two different species.
First may be Lagerstroemia microcarpa Wight, while 2nd may be what you stated.

On further scrutiny, I think Radha ji may be right.
But what could be the reason for such drooping inflorescence.

Thank you very much Garg ji.

I think the inflorescence starts drooping when fruits develop and mature.
