Raman Ji,

Not seen this Species before.

So I presumed it was Thorel's Crape Myrtle, with smaller flowers in white & purple.

This was inside the Sitapur Gate, before the Double Road entry.

Resurfacing for validation. 

Lagerstroemia tomentosa suggested by Raman Ji.

Should I take the correct id as Lagerstroemia tomentosa as suggested by Raman Ji?

Kindly validate.

Not Lagerstroemia tomentosa as per images and details herein.

For correct determination, pl. post the original images.

Garg Ji,

Adding all three.

[J.M. Garg]

As inflorescence appears to be hairy (from 1st image), I think it should be Lagerstroemia floribunda Jack only.

Radha Ji,

Could you validate this post as well?

Garg Ji has already suggested Lagerstroemia floribunda.

Dear Aarti,

Yes, it is L. floribunda. The bark is characteristic.

You will find a good description in Trees of Delhi by Pradip Krishen.
